Moonlight Madness is winter SSS
- Last Updated: Sunday, 21 April 2024 09:49
1st Moonlight Madness of 2024 is on this week (Wednesday @5:30pm).
Location: corner of Sailors Bay Road and Kameruka Road (Bonds Corner), Northbridge.
With setter David Stanley and controller Stephanie Nicholls from Garingal club hosting us.
Please enter online in Eventor preferred or at the event.
Using the same 30-control score course format as the popular Sydney Summer Series, Moonlight Madness is conducted in Sydney locations on the Wednesday of the month nearest the full moon.
You'll need a torch or headlamp, and courses are generally shorter than SSS to allow for the slower navigation after dark.
Bush controls are located on tracks for safety.
The start window is 5.30-7pm. Not to mention, all the world's elites say that orienteering at night improves your skills!
