Short dog run .

Course 2 Rock Oyster. Started by heading off south instead of east in full view of start before I orientated the map. Then I couldn’t believe the cliff I needed to head down but it was ok. Leith passed me just before one. Nav ok after that but I suddenly felt very sore on way to 4 - a shin splinty feel so slowed right down and even had to stop to stretch. Slow plod after that with a couple of wobbles but mostly ok Nav .

Pympton senior girls course on a cold , wet and windy day. Started at back and did some shadowing but had to take more than one attempt on 3 and 8 myself.

A nice end to a fun camp.

Junior camp day 3, Rocky paddock and tower hill. Shadowing then a course mostly on my own. Cold and wet but nice orienteering.

Control collection with Kate and Callum after the star relay at Mt Crawford. The kids really enjoyed the relay! Managed to avoid the rain .

Up Pole road with Callum back down track.

Junior camp day one, shadowing Darts mostly walking. Kuitpo forest cool but sunny. Beautiful day.

Steep run with Callum at end of the day.

Dog jog through the fog to Station ave and along railway line back via Redwoods with Callum and Roo.

Keynes gap course 5. About when I was thinking I was reading the map well thus far I overshot 6 and took way too long to work out my error. Didn’t identify the safe route. Good for next few to 12- which was incorrectly placed knew I was close but I didn’t find it until I was heading to the fence to relocate. It was much closer to the fence than I anticipated, and much lower down. Went the long way round to 14, same for 15. Hesitated on 16 being very close but a bit high.
So finished worse than I started, needed to be more vigilant with my attention.
Another time I would choose a longer course out there, it is pleasant terrain.
