(4) finished at about 11:40 (I think) Mens Open and Veteran 2430 23:29 Glenn Bridgart, David Jones 32 60 53(1) 80 63(2) 100(3) 71 44(4) 43 102 54 82 73(5) (dark) 65 64 33 93 55 74 101(6) 85 77 W1 94(7) 48 68 W1(8) 47 84(9) 57(10) (dawn) 92 67 56 83 31 HH(11) 50 42(12) 70 87 52(13) 30 HH(14). (1) Mistake - pre=planning was to do 60 - 80 - 53 (2) Good route along ridge just to W of river (3) Drank from Shoalhaven River (and also from Yellow Spring Ck near #73). All Water drops apart from W1 quite close to HH, and not easily useful to us in NE of map. (4) Great views along long spur to W of river (5) Sun set. Extensive mining on spur to E of control confusing - lost 10 mins (6) Slept nearby - 2345 to 0110 bad fog around midnight (7) Some difficulty - unsure of exact location due to many extensive erosion gullies - lost 10+ mins (8) Brief sleep - 20+ mins (9) Difficult in dark (no moon) - spent 15 mins within 80m of control (10) Sun rise (11) Drop pack content - 5 mins (12) Worst mistake (GB fault) - lost 10 mins in next gully to WSW of control (13) Time now 1045 - contemplated going to 62 - didn't know if we had enough energy left to hurry home - decided not to (14) Return 1129 Only jogged once - along track to #100. Walked reasonably slowly throughout - particularly at night. A really good event - a great area, very well set, and well organized.

(4) Dawn, superb views (5) mistake in route planning should have gone N to 75 66 (6) went for 40 but got lost, never found it, ended up on road to E, lost about an hour (7) Wimped it, should have gone to 50, had time and it looked easy.

Confused by an unmarked track to a power pylon on the way to 72 and lost 30 minutes. Found first control at 0230. (2) Lost 30 minutes on 84. Wished we had spent more time in the NW in daylight. Ann tripped and hurt her back, leg and pride. Returned to HH along road as planned but because of injuries visited only one control. (3) Arrived HH 1000 pm, left leisurely at 0800 am, and travelled slowly. (4) Lost 20 minutes around 81.
