Although a number of club members were in Western Australia competing at the Australian Orienteering Championships and the Australian Schools Championships, almost 50 competitors turned out to run on 5 challenging courses set by Colin Walker for Bush Classic #16. The Lyell Forest Map provides some tricky topography to navigate with the warm weather making the courses more demanding.<\/p>\n
James Robertson won the 7.7 km long course 1 followed by Richard Goonan with the experienced Neil Barr in third place. The consistent John Wilkinson was first home on course 2 followed by David Knight from the Bayside Kangaroos Orienteers with local, David Jones in third place.<\/p>\n
The largest field of the day contested course 3, where the improving Henry Cameron beat an experienced field, with Lawrie Edward and Matt Jackel filling the next 2 places. Jack Wigney blitzed course 4 comfortably winning from Rowan Goffin and Carol Coad. Simon Wigney was the sole competitor on course 5 completing the course in good time.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to all the competitors and to Colin Walker for setting five interesting courses.<\/p>\n
