Lucy Mackie added to her silverware collection at the weekend despite being unable to compete as she recovers from pre-season surgery. Orienteering Australia named Lucy as the athlete of the year following her silver-medal winning performance at the Junior World MTBO champs in 2017.

¡Hola!

Thanks for coming out on a classic December day, especially Mark who came and helped me get set up, Graeme who ran the start all day and all the Big Foot guys who gathered the gear up at the end.

Congratulations to Aidan and Lisa, Aidan grabbing his first win and Lisa her second. Plenty of past champs in what was a hot field.

Dave Lotty clocked up his hundredth event for the year - great work Dave, 5 to go.

Main improvment: now the site(s) are accessible via https rather than http.
