Feet were wet, rainjackets were worn, but big smiles and warm hearts were aplenty at the women's coaching weekend near Lithgow.
This annual fixture on our calendar is for females of all ages and abilities; it introduces rookies to the bush while refreshing experienced orienteers as we head into our winter season.
Run by our partner organisation Bold Horizons, 46 women were entertained and educated by coaches Barbara Hill, Gill Fowler, Tracy Marsh, Maggie Jones and Martina Craig over the two days.
First-timer Cassie Thompson said: "Great weekend. The coaches were great and I came home with a list of new skills to perfect."
