ACT couple Dave Shepherd and Jo Allison took out the open senior classes in sparkling autumn conditions at State League 4 and 5 near Lithgow last weekend.

WHO started proceedings with a Middle Distance course on the Mt Piper map, with most courses having a leg crossing the steep ridge that ran down the map.

The assembly area was just behind the Mt Piper power station, whose cooling stacks were a stark man-made outline on the bush horizon.

On Sunday morning Garingal took us back to their newish Gardens of Stone map - for tourists this is generally stunning rock pagoda territory, but for orienteers it offers some fast open forest running.   

Results and splits are on Eventor, while WHO and Tony Hill took more stunning photos.

Thanks to both clubs, all the setters, vetters, organisers and participants for another successful weekend. And a reminder to please fill out the very brief surveys for Course Setter of the Year.

Our next State League weekend is the annual QB III carnival over the June long weekend, being hosted for the first time in Coffs Harbour and by our newest club Bush n Beach. Entries close on Sunday May 29.
