Wet event at the Range?
Monday, 22 June 2009
Event: Training/minor
Location: Killingworth (The Range)
Organisation: The Orrs
Entries: 69
Weather: Overcast but not raining.
Well it was wet but it wasn't raining. Most of the moisture, and there was lots of it, was restricted to the ground in either puddles, waterholes or sticky mud.
A lot of people obviously decided it was going to be raining but those that turned out had a pretty good day of it, apart from the wet/lower parts of their body.
Thanks to the Orrs and all their helpers for a fun day.
Good job!
BTW - Russell Rigby has put up route gadget maps so you can show us all how you went. Will need to add time yourself.
Set up: Daniel Orr, Kathy Grace and Mick Kavur
Rego: Daniel Orr, Kathy Grace, Maria Orr, Alex Orr
Finish: Allan Wright, Peter Orr, Tamara Orr
Control collection: Maria Orr, Alex Orr, Shane Jenkins, Geoff Peel, Dennis Lyons
