The finals are still to come (Sep 22 is the last round) but this year Uringans are settling for just having a good time... and there will be an opportunity to do that at the last round at Mulgoa.
The venues have provided a range of orienteering environments from nature parks to a little more serious bush, all providing very good 'transition to bush' opportunities.
There was the odd challenge along the way, with Wianamatta offering a couple. Some GPS systems believed there were roads in place in the area which haven't yet been built. Late arrival as a result led to some orienteers not receiving the briefing about tiger pear cactus. The result on Uringan Ant Nolan's legs (no full body covering on the day) was not a pretty sight.
Expect more enjoyable orienteering next winter on Sunday mornings around the Sydney basin. (If you want to watch some recorded runs go here and click on Livelox.)

Our three teams this year were:
