You're right - most of our coastal forests are very similar. I have run the maps being used for Oceania, in fact one of my videos (NISSOC Long) is just down the coast and is basically the same forest. The sprint at Massey University is an awesomely fun map and I can't wait to run there again. If you are in NZ for a while, there will be lots of other orienteering opportunities - keep in touch with the local clubs :)

Looks good. We're hoping to come from the UK & compete in the Oceania Champs next January so assuming that the areas will be similar to this.

I am not allowed to tell you if this is a Merit or an Excellence
