Wheelers Hill
Thursday, 26 October 2017
Wheelers Hill was a real puzzler - I change my mind umpteen times between the first couple of controls, finally settled on the answer - then promtply did something different! Contours were critical - some legs had the appearance of being quite short, but when you counted the number of wiggly lines separating them, distance did not translate to speed. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a yummy selection of fresh fruit - how good is that pineapple!
A course winners were Andrew, Steven and Chris. Bruce, Jay and Mark were fastest on B. Amanda blitzed C (first back of anyone), with Damian and Reg next best. Murray won D from me and Pete. On PW, Barry scored 62 points, to finish just in front of Garry and Dave. Meanwhile, Bernie found a new Vortex of Doom!
Overall, the early leaders are Andrew, Helen and Mark on A course, Jay, Mark and Andrew on B course; Amanda, Damian and Reg on C course; me, Pete and Allan on D course; and on PW, Barry and Dave are tied for first, with Hans third.
See you next time at Ashwood South. Remember, it will be the final week of season ticket sales, so don't delay - buy one (or more) next Monday!

Where: Southern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne
When: 7:00pm Mondays; all year round
Cost: $5 per event for adults, $2 for juniors (under 21)
What to bring:
jogging/walking shoes and comfortable, light coloured clothing. Bring a
watch, a drink, and a torch for winter events (late March-mid October).
Please arrive 20-30 minutes early. This will provide time to help you register for the event and explain how to take part.
Groups (schools, scouts, sports or social) are extremely welcome,
but please contact us at least a week prior to the event so we can
ensure enough maps are printed.
In
summer (October-March), there are 4 runners courses ranging from 3.5-10 km, and a 60
minute power walkers' course. For runners the format is Scatter (visit a
designated number of controls in any order, first back wins), and for
power walkers the format is Score format (visit as many controls as you
can in the allocated time).
Enquiries: tel 0409 959 673 (Annie)
In
winter (March-October), there are 25 controls marked on the map. Choose one of two formats - a 60 minute Score course (visit as many controls as you can in the allocated time, aiming to score as many points as possible), or a "Target" course, where you aim to achieve a target score between 4 and 36 points.
