Hey Nicki well done on your first Aus rogaine despite the errors!
Some points of interest:
-#50 was one of two controls Jen and I stuffed up. We came onto it too far south and then I just kept going south before Jen pointed out where she thought we were - she was right, bless her :-)
-That was probably the coolest (temperature wise) upside down rogaine I've been on, other than the one back in 2000 where we had record January rainfall in the night before and night of the event
-We have a naming convention for summits: all the ones on the map should have been marked as "The knoll" rather than "The summit". It is up to the setters to get it right.
-Ordinarily all the controls would have intention sheets on them. This one was poorly done because the controls were hung out weeks before the event, so most of them had blown away.
What are your plans for April?

April? I have grandiose plans. I'm going to solo run the Bibblimum Track (20 days). I think I'll wait until late April, though. And even that is flexible. Why, what do you have in mind?

There's a rogaine in April. Early in the month. I can teach you how to navigate when there are no mountains around!
