NOY Standings
I thought I might mention that this is a new map recently mapped by mapping maestro Denis Lyons (who has also set the event) and if thats not enough to convince you then check out this reccomendation from the Vetter:
"It is a really great new area, beautifully mapped by Denis to his usual level of detail. Most of the area has been recently burnt and is reminiscent of Bobs Farm in terms of vegetation and the undulating terrain, but it's more spur/gully in nature as there's also water and rock features to help navigation. Most of it is good open running and I would expect some very fast times to be recorded. It's also good practice for the Hunter Valley Championships in June, which will be held on the adjacent (also new) Balickera map."
NOTE: As the majority of Newcastle’s SI equipment is being used for the Easter carnival and not available this weekend, NOY 2 will be using punch cards. For ease of timing and to speed the entry of results into the computer and Eventor it is hoped to be able to use SI to register start and finish times. Please bring your SI stick if you have one. If not you can borrow one of the club sticks free of charge.
Directions: Head north from Hexham on the Pacific Highway. After (approx) 15km from the roundabout at Heatherbrae, and 1.7km after the Italia Rd. turn off, turn to the left, and the immediately left again to head south on the old Pacific Highway. After 500m park, where possible, beside the road/track or the powerline.
Map: "Hamburgers Trail" (1:10 000) This is a new map of the SE. section of Wallaroo State Forest that was mostly burnt late last year. There will still be large sections of green to provide route choice thinking. Green stripe has been used for large sections of bracken fern. Deeply cut watercourses run off the sides of the large hill, becoming vague on the flat areas. There are interesting features formed by lines of rocky ground.
