The two most technical days of O'France 2016 put the sword to Eoin Rothery's title ambitions as he lost 29 minutes on day 4 and his SI stick on day 5 (the chasing start statge).
The second set of areas were always going to be more challenging and the switch from 1:5000 to 1:7500 maps bought a lot of unnecessary pain. Many good orienteers blew out on day 4 and most of the Big Feet were amongst them.

Thanks to everybody for coming and some who didn't, particularly Miles Ellis who stepped up at the last moment to plan the courses. The only lost property was a black beanie. A great contrast between the burnt and the unburnt.
All the results you could want to poke a stick at:
Winsplits | AttackPoint | Eventor | Ranking Points | RouteGadget (no road-crossing fiddle)| Big Foot
and there is more...

Tracy Marsh took out the ANZAC day ANZAC cookie baking competition with Paula Shingler 2nd and Rebecca George 3rd.
The failure of the Big Foot males to get a place on the podium was disappointing but they have resolved to do better next year.
For the record, here is the whole field pre-judging, along with the new holder of the perpetual wooden spoon of victory:

Yay !
Big Foot's Lucy and Fergus Mackie have been picked to represent Australia at the World MTBO champs in Portugal in July following on from their performances in recent selection races in Beechhworth when they were riding their first MTBO champs since transferring from Mountain Devils. Lucy picked up a cloth badge at the Easter 3 Days in foot orienteering, but both siblings are more experienced on a bike.
Both will be racing in the junior section of the individuals, with Hamish riding in the senior relay team. Congratulations to both of them.

Results are here and RouteGadget is available here.
Thanks for coming to Summer Series today, we hope that you enjoyed first time planner Chris Firbank's courses. The area next to the start/finish is part of the NW rail project - it will eventually be a ventilation and emergency access point for the completed tunnels.

The NSW 2016 Metrogaine moved downstream, but still in the heart of Big Footy training country for this year's 6 hour. The handy location drew a good Big Foot turnout from members both new and old.
