Pukeahu/Wellington HS. Donated my map to a late starter so no indepth analysis - but definitely out of practice when it comes to intense sprint orienteering! I think a few small mistakes or route choice errors, but pretty sure I loat more time in total in just general faff - standing still trying to find a viable route choice on the trickier legs, or figuring out which side of long multi-level walls controls were at before I was committed to potentially the wrong one.

More line marking, linking up where Ripley had got to yesterday morning and where we'd got to with the afternoon's exploration. And a bit of time moving trap boxes on to the line, almost running out by the time we needed to start driving out.

Spent the morning hauling boxes on to the line marked out yesterday, despite most of the time only being able to take in 2 at a time made it almost to the kiekie of doom...

...then the afternoon nutting out how to keep the trap line close to the river like it's supposed to be when the terrain was working against us.

Marking and cutting new trap line. Made great progress until hitting a big kiekie patch too big to detour around, the timestamps on the trap sites marked on the GPS will tell an interesting story....

Orongorongo boot camp II. Lost a fair bit of the day on the way in, digging the road out from under a slip and trying to rebuild a useable 4WD drive-line at one of the major creeks, (so we could call it arms and shoulders day) but still managed to put in a few hours marking out the new trap line and moving trap boxes onto it.
