On Sunday 26 May 2013 Woodlands Historic Park was the venue for another exciting RadiO event.

7 competitors fought it out for top positions in the RadiO long and short courses, with Ian Dodd snaffling the lead over Bruce Paterson   by 6 minutes. Thanks to Ewen who made time in a busy day to do the course.   Peter and Hamish made a good run around the course and returned before their   90 minutes was up. Tim did some coaching for BK, then raced around to collect   an impressive 150 points in under an hour. Dennis went out to collect all 6   foxOrs and returned in good time having found them all.

Welcome also to newbies Ian and Jenny and her father, who all set out to find 2 foxOrs after their orienteering course and found them without any difficulty. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves!

Competitors had asked course-setter Suzanne O’Callaghan to set a more challenging foxOr course, so she did them a favour and tested   their sniffing skills with some interesting hidey holes – horizontal and low in   a burnt out tree stump in the middle of a new growth eucalypt forest, inside a hollow tree, and behind a broken concrete remnant of an old weir.

Many thanks to Bruce Paterson, who set up the software for   instant course results and manned the start while Suzanne was still out   finding her interesting hidey holes. And to Bruce and Peter who collected   controls.
