I'm ashamed to admit that event four in the fantastic 'Autumn Evening' series went on without me! A combination of some sort of flu/cold and the wet night kept Pork Pie behind the curtains. However, and despite the appalling wet evening, over fifty addicts pulled on the volleys for a shot at Carol's great and challenging course. I have looked at the course and enjoyed the mental challenge of where 'might I have gone'. Much regretful mutterings on my part to have missed such fun.

I gather many enjoyed the bush track challenges, including the mandatory control on the little mangrove spit that juts into the river. Looping the road controls looked tough also, as would have been getting into those maddening bits of yellow in the green! Not sure of scoring, but presume someone bolted home with a goodly bunch. Big thanks to Carol and Ken and the Garingal helpers for putting it on on such a night.

This week sees our last outing, this time under the hand of the 'Running Elvis' - Warwick Selby. Waz should have us weaving and motoring around the Macquarie Uni buildings and parks in fine style, so this is a great one to end the series on. Bring your LED, bring your Petzel - even bring Granny! - but, don't forget to give us hope to keep these events on the radar for next year, by bringing yourself. A big roll up, in what should be a fine evening - at last!!

And don't forget to saddle up on the Saturday night for the night champs at Field of Mars. Details in the AE programme or from Garingal. Also note the link we have added to orienteering website and their programme of events (on the SSS 'programme' page at the top). Much coming up for all those that like map-sports. Be there!
