Plantation Farm


Amazing open pine forest with needle carpet on hilly spur gully terrain = perfect orienteering area. Well mapped clearings too. Was very happy with my run today. Navigated exactly from 9-11 then realised Id missed 10! least it wasn't far away.

Getting set up

Hello
This is a bit new to me so it might take a while to get sorted but the aim is to keep all my supporters informed of my travels and competitions. There are less than 40 days until I leave NZ for Poland and Junior World Orienteering Championships 2011. The terrain will be fast and hilly. I am preparing well, with many threshold type runs. Off to training at Plantation farm, south of Auckland today. I think this is one of the most relevant maps in NZ so it could be very useful.
