Nick Dent, Head coach NSW, led a training session in Belanglo this weekend for NSW orienteers, and particularly those heading off to the Australian Championships in Tasmania.  Using an updated version of the new 'Beyond Rocklea' map, exercises were set focussing on compass work in vague terrain and the use of precise attack points in more detailed areas.

State Juniors were out in force to take advantage of this last training opportunity before the Australian Schools Championships, with JWOC representative and Senior Girl Michele Dawson, Senior boys Aidan Dawson, Lawrence Jones, Junior Boys Toby Wilson and Alex Kennedy and Junior Girls Melissa Annetts and Georgia Jones in the forest working hard.
