Three Take Drink Control
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Runners were faced with a dilemma at tonight's O-Max. One of the "any 4 out of 7" controls was waist-deep in the surf! Although very close to a compulsory control only three took the dip.

Pirates in Belmont Regional Park
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Congratulations to Pirates Gingerbeard and Captain Jack Sparrow (Alias Greg and Ross) who managed to outscore an outstanding solo effort by Bill Edwards with the help of the bonus ‘treasure’ items. (Be it that their feather was slightly suspect – It was the ‘fur’ parrot that was perched on Gregs shoulder)

Gale Whips Up Entries
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Would you believe another record entry - and after a day of gale force winds! In fact the winds died down right on cue as participants were set off four by four on Tony van Dyk's course at Silverstream Retreat. Constrained by the need to cross under a busy road, the course was nevertheless similar to last week - a two-loop micr-o on the Hutt riverbank followed by common third loop through the buildings (ancient and modern) of the retreat. This offered significant route choice so it wasn't just follow the leader, even for those groups which were closely matched.
