A big thanks to Bold Horizons for another wonderful Women's Nav Skills Weekend in the Southern Highlands.

This annual fixture is for females of all ages and abilities; it introduces rookies to the bush while refreshing experienced orienteers as we head into our winter season. 

The highlights were the beautiful forests, the map corridor challenge, contouring along the rock and pine, the dinner in the heritage room at Bundanoon Hotel (with map games from Konsta) and, of course, the excellent company. 

Forty women were entertained and educated by coaches Hilary Wood, Gill Fowler, Tracy Marsh, Paula Shingler, Martina Craig and Konsta Vanhanen over the two days.

First-timer Michele Michel said: "I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a fantastic weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and are so keen to take my new (but limited) skills and try some more.

"All the instructors, including you, had a perfect way of explaining everything to us newbies... informative and knowledgeable!"

ONSW thanks Barbara Hill and her team of coaches for another great weekend.
