Episode 1: "Open Hart Surgery" June 2019 Participants: 32 Location: Hart's Hill South Cleared: 4 A good introduction to fiordland bush navigation on the iconic Hart's hill. Lots of locals and a few non-locals. Some people got lost. Everyone got found again.
Episode 3: "Heart of my Harts" Aug 2019 Participants: 32 Location: Hart's Hill Center Cleared: 6 Even more fun because we made it longer. And because of the canyons. And maybe for some the near death experiences. If I recall the weather was pretty good too. Episode 4: "In Short Supply" June 2020 Participants 49 Location: Supply Bay Cleared: 9 A huge turnout for the season opener! Lots of familiar faces and a few new ones. Heaps of improvement from the returnees, which shows that practice does indeed yield results, even in bush navigation (who'd have guessed?). Less elevation gain this time around, but some tricky points that required holding a bearing for way too long. And then there was the checkpoint on the island... Episode 5: "Feel the Burn" July 2020 Participants 42 Location: Forest Burn Cleared: 4 A great course set by Adrian with a 'low line' and a 'high line' and a few challenges in between, including a possible unexpected magnetic fluctuation that made one of the hard points even harder. A good eye-opener for those new to WAR, and more soggy and scrappy sadistic goodness for those coming back for second (or third) helpings. |
