A lovely day at Lake Parramatta courtesy of Bennelong Northside and Marina Ishakova (her first time organising and planning in Australia) - and what a good job she did too. She was hamstrung with the control sites she could use with various restrictions in the area, but she made the best of what was left and it was nice to have controls so fairly placed - or maybe I was just orienteering well and looking at my control descriptions properly! After the event we had some Uringa training - some basic compass work with a bearing walk to experience the difference between basic baseplate and thumb compass. Ron and Adam Garner took advantage of the session to brush up their skills, and Mary Jane and Brian Clelland also had a go, just back from 9 weeks up over and looking really well. Duncan Currie of Garingal (and a regular at Uringa training sessions) also came for a look fresh from his win at the Junior League. This is a boy worth watching in the future - showing just enough obsession with maps to think that there might be another Julian Dent in the pipeline!

Thanks, Maggie, for the compass exercises. I needed some topping up.
