Ambury After Dark 05 Mar 11

SummerNav Results from Ambury Regional Park After-Dark Night Event 5/03/2011

Great views tonight into the interesting volcanic rock formations and caves of the Ambury volcanic lava fields. Areas visited during the day seemed to reveal more detail with beams of light. It also revealed lots of reflective eyes from resting livestock watching us in the darkness. Darkness certainly makes navigating the courses much more challenging! Well done to the juniors who decided to make it even more challenging by doing course one as a memory course - only referring to the map at the start line! Luckily the forecasted heavy rain eased to light rain for the event.  Great to see some new people having a go!

Thanks to Rueben and Mark for planning and setting up the courses; Alistair and Joanna for organising the map printing and registration.

Next SummerNav is on Tuesday, 8th March. This time at Self's Farm, Tidal Rd, Papatoetoe. The event centre is down the farm track that goes off Tidal Rd right on the right angle bend at the join of Tidal and Portage roads, just beyond where Portage Rd crosses the motorway. We will be using electronic timing, so if you own your own SPORTident card please do remember to bring it - for those without SPORTident cards we will supply them.

Because we are using SPORTident to show those who have not been to the forest how it works we will not charge for the hire of the cards for this event - however we could run short of cards so please do remember to bring your cards. For any unreturned cards there is a charge of $50.
