Swiss skier Christoph Gasche (pictured below) took out the long course at this year's ski-O event ahead of Canadian skier/orienteer Caelan McLean with Victorian orienteer Warwick Davis just bagging 3rd place. A great turnout of 41 people enjoyed a beautiful day in the alps which followed a couple of very wild and woolly days.
Alistair George had a good crack at positioning himself for JWOC selection with a solid 3rd place in M20E at the Australian 3 days at Wagga, whilst Eoin Rothery overcame a 3 minutes deficit entering the final event, a sprint at Charles Sturt Uni to win his class outright, but his time for JWOC may be past.
A bunch of other feet did varyingly, looks like the longest leg time any of us managed was about 40 minutes. Jock Davis, Greg Barbour, Jo Parr and Lyra all had their moments in the sun winning an individual day, but ended the weekend badgeless for one reason or another.
A new virtual orienteering game is now available on the STEAM platform just in time for you to get in some technical training over summer. Review coming soon.
ONSW mapping guru Russell Rigby just passed on details of an trans-government initiative to release spatial data freely under a creative commons license. The new model helps Australia catch up with other nations in terms of open access to geo-spatial data.
