This week we had our first Sydney Summer Series run for the new season, and we were treated to great weather, a great start location and some great views. There was even a free 1km, 10 control mini-course around the park with one control two steps across the sand hanging from a shipwreck!
As an orienteering club, our main season is through the winter where the cooler temperatures are better for our sport. The Sydney Summer Series, which is a good way to stay fit over the summer months, is actually just as popular as our bush events as it attracts a lot of office workers, trail runners, road runners and walkers. For 26 weeks explore the around the parks and quieter streets of Sydney, discovering the secret hidden lookouts, picnic areas and trails. So popular, the North-centric SSS has now spun-off a Southern Sydney and Western Sydney series!
So who kept fit over the winter months? Let's check out the top results from our club members in the first event.
