Stinking hot. I was going to walk but ended up jogging most of the way.
First time I have ever gone anti clockwise on this map.
First time I have ever been out in the flat areas along the Lake Macquarie shoreline.
First time I have ever cut through the middle tracks through the swamp (I normally avoid bush tracks like the plague in Street-O as tend to get lost but there was no way I was going to have time to get round via the Street option).
Route
2J 1D 3C 2E 2G 1B 2A 3A 1A 25 mins
2B 2C 30 mins
3B 35 mins
1G 2K 40 mins
1N 45 mins
3E
No idea what the clue for 1D was as I couldn't find the bollard at either end of the laneway. Maybe it was obscured by the large boat parked there. Lots of others had the same problem apparently.
It was obvious from 1A that I was most probably going to be late.
I was going to try to include 2D but I looked at the hill climb and said "stuff that I will do 3B instead". Added in 3E at the end as I was going to be late anyway and it helped to recover some lost time.
47:24 and 7.52 km for 16 Controls / 31 Points (1 Point x 5, 2 Point x 7, 3 Point x 4) but late so -3 meaning score of 28.

2nd last Newcastle Street-O.
These shoes which Pure Newcastle said were a "large size 9", when I normally take size 10, continue to hurt constantly so it looks like I have been sold an expensive lemon!
