Orienteering (bush) race (Heather's Hill - H1) 1:28:42 [3] *** 14.77 km (6:00 / km) +275m 5:30 / km
spiked:15/20c slept:7.0 shoes: Salomon XT Wings red (2)
SL distance 12.9km.
I bought a thumb compass before the start just so I could look like a real orienteer. It must have worked because I made fewer mistakes and the ones I made were less costly. I saw Simmo on the course but he didn't stop to teach me how to navigate properly so I must have looked like a real orienteer. I got misdirected looking for #17 amongst a bunch of rocks until a friendly kangaroo stood up on his hind legs and pointed me in the right direction by hissing at me. Thanks fella!
I also beat Tooms. Yay :-) Not for the weekend though :-( I beat Phil again :-)
Very nice area - I hope it's not another ten years before we go back.

Control collecting and a fruitless search to find someone's lost SI tag. I had no chance really.
