went for a 13km geocache wander up and over mnt ainsle and then out towards queenbean. got about 14 in the 4 hrs i was out. walked pretty much in a straight line the entire time. which got me to thinking, why not enter into orienteering? so on sunday i went to the act orienteering group in deepest darkest tharwa and attempted a 'medium hard' course. 4.5km of open and rocky, but hilly with splatterings of bush. i threw myself into the task with my standard abandon, and came second in the group. not bad. even if i do say so myself. my biggest hurdle was from the 1st to 2nd marker. this caused grief, but *shrug* first timers always make mistakes. ;)
