Two LEGENDS of Street-O rule the Night.
Both my wife Ilze and I are LEGEND members of the Melbourne Millennium Club. To achieve this status a member must have competed in at least 1000 Park and Street Orienteering events since the year 2000. Ilze is close approaching her 1500 and I am nearly 2000 and about half of those events have been […]
A FAMILY MEDAL RUSH.
Enough with the colourful landscape, back to business. Orienteering. Today we have a double header. First event was a 60 minute score course on the Telegraph Station map. A section is in the photos and as it was drawn at 1:6000 it wont all fit on. Great map and the 7.30am start made it fabulous and cool. Strange […]

A Slice of Germany
We woke up to quite a change in the weather – cloudy and cold with a stiff breeze blowing up the hill. It seemed silly to drive to an event that was literally less than 500 metres away from our front door, so we walked instead, setting off late in the morning. We set ourselves […]
South Australia
No sooner had we arrived home and recovered from Europe, than I was repacking my bags, this time for a trip to South Australia with Pete, Ilze, Tina and Vic. The Australian Orienteering Champs were on, and having chucked in my job, I was free to go along for the ride. No such luck for […]
