The organiser comments..
A similar area to last year's P-Max here (anything else would have required more climb) but only a few controls were the same. About a third around Central Park, one third in the town belt towards the Scottish Harrier clubrooms, and one third towards Holloway Road and Polhill Reserve.

Amazing turnout considering the weather, though none of the Wanganui regulars turned up. Perhaps there was something else on. Most impressed with the Ellis family (5 ppl in two groups) though they reported the all-terrain pram didn't cope too well with some of the steps. In the popular father-daughter/mother-son category, the Molloy team needs to watch their backs, the Mitchells were just one big control behind.
