A big thank you to Uringa's Ori Gudes who stopped his race to help a lost boy at Newcastle's mountain bike orienteering event on Sunday.
Ori was approaching his last control at Killingworth when he came across a distressed boy aged about 10 or 11.
The boy had been walking his dog in local bushland but the dog got out of sight and the boy became misplaced while trying to find the dog.
Ori came to the rescue, calling the boy's dad and calming the lad until the father came to collect him.
Ori remained in touch with the event organisers throughout to let them know of the situation, and had his time adjusted - resulting in a second placing in the Men All Score category.
Well done, Ori.
The last BOSS event for the summer is on Sunday March 13 at O'Donnelltown.
