Park Series Final
Venue: The Hunter Wetlands Centre is in Wetlands Place, Shortland (just head north from the intersection of Sandgate Rd and Main Rd).
NB - Any non-competitors will have to pay a $3 park entry fee (included in competitor’s normal entry fee).
Times: See Brochure
Facilities: There are BBQ facilities, and we will be adjacent to one of the lakes, so it should make for a great evening.
Not wanting to dampen things, but mozzie repellant would be a wise item to bring.
Sunset: 7:10

Sunday 21 March
Eraring
Venue: Turn from the main road between Toronto and Morisset toward Eraring Power Station. But head EAST (heading toward the lake) at the T junction with Rocky Point Rd. Use the parking area beside the outlet canal. For first arrivals, please only park on the southern side of the car park as Green and Orange courses cross the car park on the way to their first control. We also need to leave some parking space for the general public. Later arrivals should park in Rocky Point Road (along the north side of the road) being careful not to block driveways or access roads. The assembly area is across the footbridge in the picnic area. Note: The event is mostly held on Eraring Power Station land, so consideration of parking directions is vital to continued permission to use the area.
Map: Whitehead’s Lagoon 1:7500 (March 2010) A nice local area to get the feel for running rather than riding in the bush after months of running the streets and parks. Peter also can’t send us up impossible hills this year, as the hills of Eraring are only just high enough to provide the topographical relief needed to make for interesting route choices to clear, distinct features.
Courses: The navigational difficulty of courses ranges from Very Easy through to Almost Difficult [Blue, Green, Easy Orange, Long Orange] Distances will be on display at the assembly area
Entries: Enter on the day at a time to suit you, 9:30 – 11:30am. Courses close at 1pm.

Wednesday 24 March
Relay – Evening/Night
Venue: Jesmond Park is beside Newcastle Rd between Lambton and Jesmond. The start is off Robinson Ave (east side of park).There is a feature filled park with easy navigation for the easy course - while the slightly harder course will extend a little along the tracks in the adjacent bushland. Your choice of course, your choice of evening or night.
The intention is to add interest by making the event a relay. For details on this, check the website or notices at events. In addition to what you would normally bring to a Park Event, you will also need some form of lighting, either a hand held torch, or some sort of headlight.
Times: See Brochure. Evening course from 6:00pm Night course chasing starts from 7:30pm
Sunset: 7:01

Sunday 28 March
NOY1 - Killingworth
Venue: From the F3 (Toronto exit) go toward Toronto (Palmers Rd). Turn left into Wakefield Dr and head north. About 3 km past Wakefield and before reaching Barnsley, turn left into The Broadway. In Killingworth, turn right into The Boulevarde (headed toward West Wallsend). At 500 m look for O-signs.
From Glendale: Travel west through Edgeworth to the big roundabout where you turn south toward Barnsley. At the Barnsley roundabout turn left, then after 1 km turn right into The Boulevarde and proceed as above.
Special Note: Two completely different sets of courses are being prepared for NOY1, but only one set will be used. Hopefully the other will get a run later in the year! Courses set in the Burke’s Creek/Canyons area will be used if the dirt track in is considered negotiable by average 2WD vehicles (ie dry weather and potholes not too bad). If wet, parking will be along Killingworth Rd and we will use The Range map.
Courses: Standard NOY Courses
Entries: Enter on the day, at a time to suit you, 9.30 - 11.30am. Courses close at 1.00pm
