Central Coast drew an encouraging 60 participants - including some very keen newcomers - to their opening summer series event at Berkeley Vale on Sunday morning.
Justin Stafford (Newcastle) and local Ciaran Lynch cleared the course under time in ideal cool conditions, while the best woman was Melissa Robertson (CC) with 480 out of 600 points.
It was great to see some kids out on the free MINI course - a welcome addition to the standard score course on offer.
Next week it gets even better - more than half the controls will be in the bush on the northern side of Kincumber Mountain (see the map sample top left for a taste).
It is one of 5 new maps that CC are using for this summer series.
You can find all the details on the club's revamped website.
