Out to Darebin Parklands. As with last week, the intention was to run all the odd-numbered controls first, then all the even ones, but I wasn't feeling brilliant and in any case the elements got in the way - two hours of heavy rain before I started had made the creek rise enough to make all but one of the crossing points not safely passable (and flooded a couple of the riverside paths too), so some of the legs involved very long detours. In the end I settled for the odds and the first loop of the evens. A bit iffy, but better than last week.

I feel as if I've fairly much exhausted the possibilities of this map for now - I wasn't really navigating for most of this. Hopefully we'll be able to go a bit further afield next weekend, although I think we're still a few weeks away from actual events in Victoria.

Back home from the parklands, as the rain started to get heavier again. (Strangely, there didn't seem to be anywhere near as many people around as there had been on recent and more clement Saturdays).
