Pewsey Vale OY Event #1 Course: M21AS 6.2 km 140 m
Pretty fun day out in the forest. Didn't notice that #1 was in the wrong spot, nor #9, but taling to others in retrospect, it would seem to be the case. I was able to get myself to the circles pretty cleanly, but messed around a bit while there to find the correct feature. #6 frsutrated me since i never saw the boulder it was meant to be on, and the control was sort-of shoved between the bare rock and a yacka. Luckily spiked #9 despite having difficulty understanding the map without accurate vegetation mapped, and what was there didn't make too much sense. Made my first proper navigational error on the way to #10 where i mistook a cluster of rocks as the top of the hill, and missed the saddle i was aiming for. I stopped to help an injured Mel at #16 and got her back on her feet before completing my course. Took a couple of deep breaths after leaving Mel to make sure i didn't do anything silly which paid off. Went back towards where Mel was going to help her up the hill. She was fine, better to keep on your feet with a sprain than not.
Pewsey Vale remains to be a good map despite the obvious vegetation flaws due to logging, would love to see it back to it's glory days.
It was nice to have a BBQ at the event then follow that up with Lovell's Bakery in Birdwood - they have moved to a nice new building.

Belair and Olave Hill
It was certainly too nice an evening not to be outside, so i left work early (like i always do) got home, stuck my feet in some running shoes and went for a run. I got a stitch before even entering the park and then i really struggled to suck air in while going up the park boundary. There was a fair bit of smoke in the air which i think was affecting my lungs a small amount. It was nice and pleasant to run along Olave Hill Road. Looks like they are doing more road works on Olave Hill Road, must be a noisy resident with influence living along there, I can't even get council to cut down a feral tree. Now i get to put all the furniture back into our two bedrooms, yay!

QJD and Ballast Pit
Last daylight run for Thursday nights. Bring on the torches. Ran past a fair chunk of the park that had been controlled burned the last couple of days. Still smouldering. So are my shoes after the fast run home.
