SPECIAL NOTES: For those competitors who think they might be running in the elite level sprint event at the NOL in May there is an embargo on the University. Thus they should NOT run in this event. Special consideration will be given to those competitors who do not make their anticipated grade for the final Park Tour event as a result of this embargo.
From the desk of the course setter:
Despite a shower of rain at 4pm that may have been a sign of things to come, the event was held in fine, albeit humid, weather. Thanks to Joy, Cheryl, Peter and Margaret for their assistance on the day. Given you've all had a warm up on terrain similar to the National Orienteering League event at the university being held in a few months, you have no excuse for a bad run then. Regardless, do enter that University sprint event. It's being held on world class sprint orienteering terrain and is being organised by a respected and capable team.
