Bush 3 - Middle Dist OY Wundabiniring Brook

Sunday, 22 May 2022

East of The Lakes

Expect fast forest running for this middle distance State Orienteering League (SOL) event with the longer courses venturing to the northern part of the map, an area that has not been used for some years.

The State Orienteering League (SOL) is a series of orienteering events running throughout the season which is designed to permit comparison of performance within and between orienteers of different age classes to determine the annual orienteer of the year. If you would like to participate in the SOL, choose your course according to the SOL rules. This event is one of the Junior State Team 2022 selection events.

Event report: Bush 2 Yetar Spring

Sunday, 08 May 2022

East of Mundaring & Sawyers Valley

A number of families as well as a two week old baby were included in the 103 participants who enjoyed the sunshine at Yetar Spring on Mothers’ Day.

Although the trail-bike rider tracks had been updated in the northwest of the map, numerous unmapped tracks elsewhere may have caused confusion for some. Those who went to the most north-easterly part of the map were recognisable by their blackened appearance having traversed an area that had been burnt a year or so ago.

Dale, near Beverley

On the Sunday and Monday of the June Long Weekend, head to the fast and runnable area of Hill Park Dale (near Beverley) for the WA Classic two-day bush event!
