Moonabie North Event 27th September 2009

 Despite some adverse weather on the days when John, Trev and Terry were setting up the event, and a few hiccups like flat batteries, flat tyres and crunched cars, it all turned out well.  Thanks Guys. 

 The day was ideal for orienteering, cool and breezy and only a mist of rain.  Not often it is cool enough for a campfire on the last event, which was certainly enjoyed by the children.

Moonabie has difficult terrain in which to set an event with lack of strong features and thick vegetation.  This resulted in a few missed controls, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

43 people competed, and it was fantastic to see four Port Lincolners come up, and also a couple of past members from Adelaide.
