22-06-2009 - Gauteng Championships 2009


The 2009 Gauteng championships were held in fantastic weather over the weekend 20-21st June. 2 brand new areas mapped by Garry Morrison, Michele Botha (Hennops Pride map) and Nicholas Mulder (Protea Ridge map) provided for some varied orienteering terrain.


Both days were very rocky and resulted in more than our usual injuries some of the victims of the weekend were (Jeremy Green battered and bruised), Nicholas Mulder, Richard Lund , Hugh Lund all taking a tumble at Hennops, and Ian Bratt breaking his finger on Sunday. BUT nonetheless a great weekends orienteering with some interesting courses and a new innovation to avoid courses being voided in case of stolen controls. Nicholas and Liz place small pieces of paper with the control #'s on that were scattered at the control site all the competitor would need to do is take a piece to prove he was where the control once was, this paper would bio-degrade.

 

ROC had a few good performances over the weekend the highlight being Sarah Popes W20 victory on both days, also in the medals were Ian Bratt, Craig Ogilvie, Ken Robinson, Del Comins, Glynis Shoebotham, Nicholas Mulder, Steve Spottiswoode, Karin Spottiswoode.
