Planner Tony Gazley. Winners' route (we think): From the end of Truscott Ave in Johnsonville,
down Burma Road picking up the two 60's in the bush tracks behind the Khandallah
swimming pool, to Crofton Downs and two out of the four controls on the hill
above. Interestingly the 2nd-placed team chose the other two controls here,
why didn't you go for all four after investing the effort to get to the
far end of the course? Back along the ridge (in the murk) to Kaukau via #52,
the three around Kaukau and #20 on the way down.

Planner Dave King. Winners' route: From Happy Valley Park up the tip track,
getting the 100-pointer over the spur and crossing over to the 50-pointer
on the Bata St track. Down into the stream which comes out by the
quarry, over to the cluster of controls in the stream which comes out
just past Red Rocks and up to 485m Te Kopahou.
Along the top (in the mist and into the wind!) as
far as time allowed, which was #59 about 600m past Hawkins Hill (495m);
then down the tip track again to finish with 3min to spare.
