What's the NOSH? It's an annual trail run established and organised by the orienteering community.
Run or walk on a traffic-free course from Lindfield Oval via Roseville Bridge to Seaforth Oval through some of Sydney's most spectacular bushland. The course is approximately 16.4km in length, mostly on bush tracks and fire trails, with some steep sections. There's 570m climb throughout the course.
Uringa's contribution has for many years been to organise and staff the water station underneath the Roseville Bridge. Organiser in chief is Ron Pallas.
Oh, yes, and also to be represented by runners. Ant Nolan was 22nd at 1.20.39 followed by Will Nolan 82nd at 1.39.17.
If you look at it from a different point of view, it is the annual celebration of Gayle Shepherd's birthday. There's always cake (this year baked by Jane Boland).
Orienteering history was also represented by the florescent fleeces worn by some - harkening back to the cold but exciting week of running 2007 JWOC (Junior World Orienteering Championships) starts in the chilly dawn of winter on maps near Dubbo.
