Orienteering Summer Series

Tonight saw a change of routine - we went off to the first orienteering summer series event held at the Pinnacle. While Andy ran around his course Ella, Katy and I tackled the blue course. Ella began well racing off to the first 3 controls. Her attention and stamina ran out between 4 - 5. Rather than find controls #5, Ella climbed trees and then picked lots of gum leaves. By this time Katy was getting more upset (from the bumpy ride in the pram I expect), Ella refused to walk anymore so I turfed Katy out of the pram into the baby bjorn and Ella into the pram.

If I thought the cross country from 4 -5 was bumpy then 5 -7 was getting to the stage of ridiculous. Anyway we did survive and the 1.6km course took us about 50mins. An enjoyable evening especially now that the weather has begun to warm up.
