08.01.2022 SA CLUB RELAYS happening LIVE! https://liveresultat.orientering.se/followfull.php

08.01.2022 First Friday evening Twilight series event at the Adelaide South Parklands, using areas only recently mapped including the delightful Marshmellow Playground. Great turnout on a cool evening to enjoy Evalin's courses.

07.01.2022 Wittunga Botanic Gardens map has been updated with a new MapRunF course - details on this page - https://www.sa.orienteering.asn.au//ne/mobile-orienteering There always seems to be flowers on display at this beautiful little botanic garden, just down the road from the Blackwood roundabout. When the first MaprunF course was published earlier this year flowers were plentiful then and now another lot of plants are out in bloom. A new course has been designed to avoid upgrade and maintenance works now encountered on the old course, so download the new course on MaprunF and or print off a free map, then come and explore this little gem, perhaps staying for a picnic. Or after go to one on the many local coffee shops at Blackwood.

An additional image shows all FORBIDDEN features.
