12-14th July NZ Schools Orienteering in Christchurch

I travelled with J's school as a parent supervisor to Christchurch for the NZ schools orienteering champs. We flew from Palmerston North to Christchurch on Thurs morning.

Arrived in Christchurch on lovely sunny afternoon. Bit cold for 12th July and did not see any parades!

We stayed in lodge in holiday village.

On Friday was inividuals competition. J came a close second in his event. Not bad for first year in event, coming second in New Zealand!

Saturday was the team event. The team of 3 run different routes and the shorted time for full team is winner. J's team won that event and J's school was top boys school in New Zealand.

Cousin Kate and second cousin Lucy came along to meet us at the event on Saturday. A family reunion!
