​What an amazing variety of maps over the three days and a variety of ages participating. The amount of people coming together to attend the event from all over NZ means a lot to us, and really made the competition and event go well. Send us any comments or feedback, it really helps us. 

All the results are up and linked: https://www.mtbochamps.nz/results.html

A big thank you to our organisers, event planners and controllers for the 2021​  NZ MTBO Champs:
Naseby long event  | 18 Apr 2021 -  Planner: Conal Boland-Bristow  and Controller: Matt Bixley
Chatto Creek champs middle event  | 19 April 2021 - Planner: Viv Prince and Controller: Dave Armstrong
Ngapara Ponds sprint event   | 20 April 2021 - Planner: Joe Sherriff  and Controller: Alister Metherell 
And many helping in other ways:  a special mention to Peter Swanson on THE ONZ committee backing us all the way, and all others on the MTBO Commitee.Graeme Read for his work bringing and operating the caravan for organising our online entries, downloading and presenting results each day, and Dwayne Smith who travelled out just to help Graeme from Wananka, but not sure if he even tried a ride with a map - maybe next time!  There are also key people from Dunedin including Jeni Pelvin, but there were many more helping the crew from Central Otago orienteers. And special thanks to all our landowners and liaisons: Earnslaw One Ltd; Central Otago District Council; Central  Otago 4x4 club; and the landowners at Chatto Creek. 
Here are digital versions of the course one maps.

Joe and the team have been working pretty hard, and this series of photo's shows some of the clearing work that has been happening to deal with some the windfall on the sprint map, which came down in recent storms. It also provides a good view of the tracks, so worth checking out!

Error Correction in Bulletin

13/4/2021

2 Comments

 
A sharp eyed competitor has pointed out an error in the Bulletin that was sent out and published yesterday - the Middle Distance event at Chatto Creek is on Monday 19th April - not Saturday 19th April. I'm sure most of you are smart enough to figure it out, but just in case not, we hope you read this! The updated bulletin is now available on this website. Happy reading!
