Beaut weather for the Lake Macquarie Rogaine. Around 460 competitors for 6 and 12hr. We set them off in 2 waves and had earlier start times to deter campers. All were very accommodating of the COVID19 measures and didn't bat an eyelid when asked to conform. Lots of positive comments after and I think this year's scenery was spectacular, especially the various waterfalls. My personal wildlife count: 1 leech and 1 scorpion, but I'll be keeping a special eye out for any friends. Rain held off until about last 30 mins and then only light. But by next morning I had wet tent, fly, canopy, damp sleeping bag and all my dirty cloths in a pile had channelled the rivulet. Still magic place. Fun parts of the weekend - watching on Saturday afternoon the party of 6 dressed up in crinolines no less doing a photoshoot in the Pines Picnic area and Sunday while we were packing up the rock band set up in middle of Pines drumming their little hearts out while being filmed. Best part of the weekend was camping with the rogaine crew - always a delight, but sadly someone pinched our stash of firewood so again no egg jaffles!
