To celebrate World Orienteering Day (and week) in our very small worlds, Garingal is offering everyone who lives in the part of world that is 4km from Chatswood, some new courses. (There were 2 World Orienteering Days this year: one in May and the other this week.)
The courses feature Chatswood’s rather urban landscape and were created by David Stitt (GO) and checked by Alistair McLean (BF), who unsurprisingly both live in Chatswood. There are 4 courses: the usual (and must have) Score course, and 3 lines courses: Short, Medium and Long.

Easter at Molong 2021 proved to be a huge challenge due to the black dots and lines sprinkled like 100's and 1000's all over the map.
Take your hats off to the following Garingalites who had podium finishes on one or more of the days, and especially to Istvan, Niki, Ian, Aniko and Cooper for a podium finish overall.
Notably, Cooper was running up an age class in order to have a challenge.
