I feel like I had a thorough physical workout today. Thanks for courses Ali and Gerald. Also, a big thanks to all who helped out, and a special mention to those who went out again afterwards to collect controls!

Are you sorted for Sunday?
The Tikara map at the top of Churton Park has something for everybody - farmland and forest; pines and native bush; spurs and gullies; flats and hills (and a few more hills if you want). Come and see what challenges Ali has set us amongst the scenic goodness.

This was handed in during the event on Wednesday, found on the floor. Does it belong to anybody here?
If not, we'll hand it to lost property at the University.

Here are a selection of route choice legs from tonight's courses. Which did you chose - which would you chose now?
