Absent. So far 2014 has been a rather full year, orienteering wise, for me; it has also been rather interesting — a learning experience, let\u2019s say. I\u2019ve decided that the time has come for a break, so we are going to disappear for a week or so and will be back and forth for a while after that. Coming event details for the next two weeks are below.<\/p>\n

Coming Events<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Saturday 16 August. Bush Classic 13<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Map<\/span>: Wildflower Drive<\/p>\n

Organiser\/Course Setters<\/span>: Craig Feuerherdt<\/p>\n

Start<\/span>: 12.30 to 2.00 pm<\/p>\n

Format<\/span>: five courses: 1 difficult, 2 shorter difficult; 3 shorter still, difficult; 4 Moderate and 5: easy.<\/p>\n

Comment<\/span>: This will be a good event \u2013 don\u2019t miss it! A good course setter on one of our long time favorite maps –and just around the corner. See you there<\/p>\n

Directions from Bendigo<\/span>: Travel east along McIvor Road. Shortly after the Reservoir Road look for O signs pointing you right. If you get to the trotting track you\u2019ve overshot!<\/p>\n

From Castlemaine and points south<\/span>: Travel to Bendigo on the Calder; continue through town past the Shamrock Hotel and turn right onto Mundy Street. At the second roundabout swing left onto McIvor Road and then as above.<\/p>\n

Please ensure you park in front of the old brickworks site (southern side of McIvor Hwy) rather than along Wildflower Drive. The assembly area will be a few metres along Wildflower Drive.<\/p>\n

Saturday August 23. Bush Classic 14<\/span><\/p>\n

Map<\/span>: Mt Ida<\/p>\n

Organiser<\/span>: Steve Doyle<\/p>\n

Start<\/span>: 12:30 to 2:00 pm<\/p>\n

Course closes at 3:00pm<\/p>\n

Assembly at Dargile Picnic Ground (some shelter & pit toilets).<\/p>\n

Course 1 Hard Navigation 6.7 km 10 controls; 2 Hard Navigation 5.4 km 8 controls: 3 Hard Navigation 3.9 km 6 controls; 4 Moderate Navigation 3.7 km 7 controls; 5 Easy Navigation 2.6 km 8 controls<\/p>\n

Setters Notes<\/span>: Start is \u2018remote\u2019 600m to W of assembly (follow tapes).Peaceful area of generally open forest. Excellent runnability. Broad features with creek detail in N, steeper slopes to S and W. Whole area shown as \u2018white\u2019 on the map \u2013 in reality some areas of light green along creeklines.<\/p>\n

Courses are overlaid onto a segment of the original pre — computer era map. Use contour detail and creek features for navigation, together with \u2018main\u2019 tracks. For runners a key point to note is that feeder\u2019 tracks (e.g.: above Control 59 and the W– E track further N in the map segment shown) are no longer discernible on the ground. Likewise any small patches of yellow. A map update on display at Assembly will highlight these changes. Hint: Terrain is \u2018only\u2019 spur– gully (no mining or man — made objects) but provides challenges in route-choice in the subtle terrain in the north and in interpreting mapped detail.<\/p>\n

Directions<\/span>: Signposted from corner of Chauncey St and Northern Highway in Heathcote. Head north along Chauncey St (across creek & past Showgrounds), becomes North Costerfield Rd. After 5km turn left into Plantation Rd. After another 5km turn left into Plantation Track. Assembly at Picnic Grounds approx. 1km on left.<\/p>\n
