Bendigo Pebbles #2
Kooyoora Gullies
Course 1

This was advertised as Bendigo Rocks, but was essentially a moderate level course that only touched the edges of the granite. I had feared this based on the event information, but given that it was a Bendigo Rocks event, I thought that Course 1 would have been more challenging.

Also, it's a bit of a shame that after driving 2.5hrs each way that there are not enough maps printed. I had to take one that had leg 5-6 almost on the edge of the map. Unfortunately I drifted off the edge and lost 2 minutes finding my way back.

I wouldn't mind pre-entering to reserve a map, but Bendigo Orienteers do not even guarantee that you will get a map if you pre-enter. Surely that is against consumer rights. I know that they try to make things easier for the organiser, but you still need to look after the participants.

Kooyoora training run with Mason.
Many of the white patches on the rocky slopes have thickened up even more over the last 5 years. Some of this was very tough going in areas that I clearly remember being open forest when I was doing course setting for World Masters. However, many areas were still superb, and with good course setting, this is still a world class area.
