Central Coast delivered a fantastic QB III carnival in the Clandulla area over the long weekend, with almost 300 participants each day enjoying great courses in challenging terrain.

Our Swedish scholar Tuve Moller (SHOO) had a great win in M21A, as did former Bennelonger Marina Iskhakova (ACT) in W21A.

Geoff Lawford, 63, turned back the clock to take out M35A and Andrew Wisniewski (Big Foot) returned from injury to win M45AS thanks to a dominant day 2.

Jenny Bourne (Victoria) was another successful interstate raider, in W55A, while SHOO couple Garry and Sandra Stewart took out the 55AS categories.

The closest winning margin across the three days on the Hard courses was 45 seconds - in M70A, where Bennelong president Terry Bluett knocked off clubmate Steve Flick.

The maps were used at Easter 2014 and the World Masters Games in 2009, and are ideal for big championship events.

Cumulative times are here. Please fill out the very brief Course Setter survey for each day. These provide valuable feedback to setters and controllers, and help determine who wins the Graham Mitchell Trophy.

One of the things we love about our sport is you can do it forever - have a look at the Open Easy results: we had a participant born in 1930, and another born in 2004.

Photo albums from each day can be viewed on the Orienteering Australia Facebook page.

A big thanks to Central Coast and all the other helpers who contributed to a great weekend.
