NOY6 Wallaroo - Results
Wet weather failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the over 100 participants that turned out for NOY6 at Wallaroo State Forest yesterday.
Conditions for the most part were damp but relatively OK especially later in the morning as the weather improved. Even so many had a quick swim when trying to cross a couple of the creeks in and around the low lying areas toward the finish.
Course setter Bjorn Mella's extensive orienteering experience showed in what were excellent courses that challenged the competitor on many occassions with numerous route choices. Long and Medium Red shared the same long leg for 1-2 and the variety of routes taken can be seen via routegadget snail trails already uploaded. Have a look!
Note: We were extremely dissappointed to find that our expensive "Beeping Clock" had been stolen from the remote start by mindless thieves. Perhaps we should have had somebody permanantly there but we were naive enough to consider that to be an overkill. Obviosly one of those 4wd persons decided they wanted it as they were the only others in the forest at that time.
