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.
