State League 2 at Wattle Ridge was a case of how many finished the course and how many did the course finish! It was certainly tough with reduced visibility. There is one thing about vegetation give it plenty of rain and sun and it gets thicker. The white on the map would be best interpreted as being green and the green well greener. Mind you there is no excuse for poor navigation.
It was a case of stay in contact or perish.
The very short leg from 2 -3 did me in with a 25 minute leg time ( I managed 8-9 in the same time... dumb dumb dumb.)
Oh well that is why one goes back each week. To invent new errors!
It was great to see Ross Coyle back again in full flight he notched up a very commanding win in M55A along with the comeback king Ian Mckenzie who took on the very challengingM 35A course. Georgia Jones W14A and Linda Sesta W40A were also grinning winners. Ian Jones M45A, Sophie Jones W10A, Brian Cleland MopB and Jane McKenna W21AS scored well deserved 2nd places and Maggie Jones W40A, Lisa Lampe W50A and Angela Murray W65A all manged to step onto the podium in 3rd place.

The orienteering circus heads south to the ACT for the ACT Middle and Long Distance Champs over the weekend of the 9/10th April.
The terrain will be much more forgiving. ( Well I hope so!)
