Five intrepid D and E group harriers spent a fun filled hour
ankle deep in bog and mud to complete our first MDOC orienteering challenge.
This was an all ability trail and the organisers were helpful in suggesting
which group would suit us best. We decided to go for the short course 6.1km
(although we did just over 5 miles with lots of detours!!). You can choose to
omit up to 4 controls depending on age and ability.
After being issued the map at the start and initiating the
dibber (device that records the number of controls found), we were off. Kate
decided to go alone, but Catherine and I and Georgina and Rippon paired up in
teams. The weather was pretty abysmal but it didn't dampen our determination to
find all controls. Some were frustratingly well hidden!!
We certainly didn't break any records but thoroughly enjoyed
the experience and would highly recommend if any further events come up in the
future.
