 Drenched in sweat, huffing and puffing up 500 steps to the start of the Swiss team relay near Stein am Rhein on the first of July, I remarked to the missus who characteristically and revoltingly showed no sign of discomfort in the form of excessive perspiration or even the tiniest evidence of oxygen debt: “You know, if we had started orienteering in 1982 at Delta Park, demanding that would-be participants park their car on the other side of Europe’s longest river and then walk, with heavy rucksacks on their sweaty backs, a distance of 3 km with an elevation of 180 metres to a greyish castle high up in the clouds on the German-Swiss border, in the knowledge that they would have to cough up an entry fee of Sfr 110 (approx R 1 000) per team and would have no choice but to see their bank manager and request a yet further extension on their mortgage, so they could embark on a muddy 2.9 km jog and, having completed the course, plunge into a torturous 3 km knee-crunching descent”. Here I was forced to pause as this long sentence had drawn all breath from my burning lungs and I had to sit down on one of the 500 steps, to recover my wits. After 15 minutes I had sufficiently come round to finish my pronouncement with the conclusive words: “I don’t think orienteering would have caught on in South Africa”.
