I saw there was a short 60 min orienteering event being held at Ocean Grove. There are a series of these street events every Winter and Summer. Some 20 yar ago I did the Summer version and there are some big differences in the conducting of these events. For one thing you need to bring a smart phone or watch. Your progress is recorded on your phone and a tally of scores is kept there as well. The biggest change is no actual controls to find or punch on arrival. When you approach within 10 metres of the mark, the phone beeps and you can move onto the next one. At least they gave us a paper map to navigate by. We dawdled in 10 minutes early for 28 points. Mind you we had a fairly hefty lunch in the Dunes restaurant before we started.
