Slap Up at the Gourock Gambol
Well done to all the teams who gambolled in wonderful spring weather around the headwaters of the Queanbeyan River. The overall winners in the 6 hour were Holly Ashburner, Tom Fitzgerald and Kelvin Peh who scored about half the number of points of the overall winners in the 12 hour (Xanda Kolesnikow and Ivan Koudashev). Family teams were well represented – nine in the 6 hour event with Sam, Nellie, Sofiya, Millie and Lawrence winning the category. Leanne and Ross Wilkinson scored very well in the 12 hour family category.
Lots of teams saw snakes (brown, copperhead, tiger and black) as well as less scary wombats, wallabies, echidnas and many water birds. The organisers noted one team with rogaine flag painted fingernails and another team that forgot to turn their engine off before heading out on the course. Luckily the door was open! We hope numberplate ERY… got home ok.

Provisional results for the 2023 Spring 6/12 hour are online.
On Friday we had a relaxed drive north towards Parkes through the bright yellow of the canola fields and the relatively green pastures, stopping along the way to ice cream up and go to the second-hand shop in Canowindra (highly recommended). The HH area was in an open paddock, so we pitched tents and flies ready for the forecast heat and no shade. Friday night's moon rose like an enormous balloon over the horizon, just as the temperature plummeted! Guessing minus a few degrees. Just like a nice day in Norway. But the cool didn’t last long.
We were keen to come to The Edge rogaine because we knew the area was good, and we knew Ronnie and David would set an excellent course with a focus on being in the bush and make a good map. We were rewarded on all these fronts.
The map had what we thought were three distinct areas, south-east with the high points and - for the area - hills, the flatter north and the hilly west.
