Freycinet Day 2

Monday, 27 July 2020

On Saturday morning we sent the kids off in the charter boat with some other friends to Cooks Beach. With the intention that they'd find their way home. Or not. Whichever. 

 

Once again it was an incredibly calm day, so their journey would have been pretty smooth. 

While they motored to the end of the peninsular, I went with Jon to Wineglass Bay Carpark where he set off for his own run of the Freycinet Circuit, and I ambled back along the new track that connects the town to the carpark which is a great addition to the area. 

Once I got home I did some uni stuff then I started to put out the 30 controls that needed to be in place for the night event I was organising.  It took a long time to get them all out there, but it was a nice place to be wandering around!

 

 

While I did that the kids were trekking home. They had decided to head over Mt Graham which meant an 18km hike with plenty of hills, so they were fully cooked by the time they got home! Luckily they (and Jon) had time to recover for a few hours before fronting up to my event.  

While their broken bodies lay strewn around the cabin I did the final setup for the event and waited for the sun to go down (conveniently early compared to the original pre-covid date of this event).    Just after sunset 60 or so runners fanned out through the Coles Bay township to visit as many controls as they could in 45 minutes.

 

Paul and Jon both did pretty well overall (surprising given both of them had covered 29k hours earlier), while the kids looked like they had lots of fun. We've been able to use our fancy head torches a lot this year which has been good.

With the event done and dusted we collected up the controls pretty quickly and then the Mitchell & Hawthorne families came over to our cabin for an indian banquet. It was the perfect way to end a fantastic day.
