Runners clean up at Rathmines
Event: Summer Street Series 10
Location: Rathmines
Entries: 76
Weather: Mild
Another event on the shores of Lake Macquarie, this time at Catalina Park at Rathmines - the WW2 Catalina flying boat base. Some of the clues used the signs indicating the location of various parts of the base, & some of it is hard to recognise in the bush and scrub regrowth.
Thanks Glen, hope you enjoyed setting your first event as we enjoyed running it.
It is Council bulky goods collection week, so there was plenty of old furniture, dead whitegoods and assorted junk in piles around the streets. The small surf-ski we picked up from the house next to #2E may turn out OK, or at least be convertable to a pirate boat by my nephews.

Did anybody notice the bike up the hill from #2A and offered up for council collection. It was early on my course but even then I was really tired. Thought it might have been a good option to ride it on it's rims past a few controls then dump it on another pile. It had no tyres but everything else looked fine and I was very tempted. Fair play won out in the end as I thought I shouldn't set a bad example to other competitors.
