Discussion: Rogaine

Where's the value for money though hey? Where's the food at the end? Where's the camraderie?

Yep that is true. I got bailed up after the orienteering yesterday by a lady from England complaining that she just paid $20 to go for a walk and why didn't everybody get together afterwards.

She should become a member then. :D

How old are your boys, Jacko? We started orienteering, doing the VE course, when I was 5 but my parents were bloody-minded and wouldn't carry me.

Oldest is 5 and youngest is 4. 15 months between them.

I tried hard not to carry them much. Was easy when there was logs and stuff to climb over as they love those bits.

I told the lady to join a club. I didn't listen to her for long, she started complaining about Australian weather etc etc and I had to hold back from giving a bogan reply like 'bugger off back then!'

She doesn't sound like a Lady to me.

@tRicky... "value for money" Let's see, I had 15 controls and a start and finish inside 1 hour - that's heaps better nav per kilometre and nav per minute than in a rogaine where you could go for an hour primarily deciding which side of a vehicle track to trudge along before walking up to the top of a hill! :-)

She lived South of the River so nuff said really..;-)

Tooms I was just quoting a conversation overheard. If I cared about any of the above I would not turn up :-)

Incidentally I think I found less controls in my 2.5 hours than I would have on a rogaine.

Fewer.

AP is a public forum - maybe amend your last post re ropres? I know you're joking about o vs ro, as do you know I.

Wouldn't be the first time I got in trouble on an Internet forum :-)

However, the less enemies I make the better. More is fewer as they say.

Thanks Toom's by the way for the message you left on my work answering machine letting me know you were running late on saturday...... I got it this morning

I just pressed "Jacko" in my phone and thought afterwards itm ight have gone awry... didn't bother checking though!

I guessed as much. Attention to detail...... AP tauwt me that
