Thirty six adventurous souls did not let the afternoon showers deter them and were rewarded with an evening of clearing skies and gorgeous orienteering. The Billy Goat format (mass start, following allowed) encouraged close competition and a number of finishers were within a minute or two of each other. The closest finishers, Nancy Pease and Anne Billman on the Wee course were separated by only 4 seconds!
This meet was hosted by Mike Robinson and Ruth Kvernplassen. Thanks to Mark Findlay for providing introductory training and Ian Moore for picking up controls.
