I attended the orienteering event with Neil, but rested from running. I spent time walking around finding the best spot to make phone calls to my siblings. Probably walked 5kms up and down hills.

We dove a fair way to the Glow Worm Tunnel and Wolgan valley look over trail. It was a loop that took the old rail and coach routes. Beautiful forest, very steep terrain, with soaring cliffs and some huge old trees. The trail was an easy angled moderate grade walk.

Public event which was tagged onto the schools individual competition today. I'd entered the women's A course (course 2, at 7.2km length). There were no spare maps for any shorter hard courses so I copped it. Took me absolutely ages to finish the course, and I nearly gave up at the spectator controls half way around, but stuck it out. Fell twice, but bounced. The terrain was spur gully native forest with scattered granite and lots of fallen trees all over the place which meant for slow running and a lot of high stepping.
