Western Australia Karrak Karnival (Weekend 1)

A very small and select group of Uringans travelled (far) west for the rich repast of orienteering being laid on by our Western Australian orienteering colleagues.

The first weekend (a long weekend in WA) saw a number of DNSs and MPs. Brian and I got to the assembly area on Saturday, and as the rain poured down decided that we weren't the hard core orienteeers everyone else was. Fortunately the sun shone during the rest of the weekend, though other challenges were offered. The Monday sprint at Curtin University offered a great assembly area where one could socialise, watch the runners coming through a spectator control at one end and into the finish at the other (just by turning around), eat and drink from a variety of caterers (coffee! waffles! fresh juices! pizza! dumplings!), and just enjoy the sunshine.

Well, these managed to complete their courses...
