City Safari

As Chaucey noted yesterday, we were off on the Orienteering Hutt Valley's City Safari Competition today.

We came 5th overall in the 3hr section, and were 2nd in the Mixed Couple category. Not bad at all.

My only aim was to beat Paul Bruce and Brett Efford of the Green Party team - we did so, by more than doubling their score. For a party that advocate using public transport they didn't have a good strategy - they just caught the first bus that came by and then jumped off at the next waypoint closest to the bus route.

Chaucey and I had a strategy of planning which buses to catch but we ended up being flexible and changed plans to maximise points, which worked out best.

We had a good day but I'm off to the spa to rest my weary legs.

UPDATE - The Official Results have been published at www.citysafari.org.nz and we came fourth overall and First Mixed Couple. Wahoo!
