Walking (fieldwork) 3:00:00 [1]
Rain stopped play by about 2, which actually gave us a couple more hours than I was expecting. No robins today for me, but others in the team did score the first known independent juvenile, which is good news.
Orienteering 43:27 [3] ** 3.9 km (11:08 / km) +30m 10:44 / km

Advertised as a sprint race but not really (hence wrong shoes), Te Rewarewa, New Plymouth. Pretty easy, even all the sand dune bits but still a good opportunity to practice good orienteering process at speed. Except towards the end where a bit of lack of focus led to some in-circle time loss at 14 and failing to notice a big thick flax obstacle on the way to 15. Not sure what to blame for the dumb route choice to 5: straight through the worst rough open ever completely failing to notice the nice bright yellow just a short deviation away!
