Lilac Hill Rogaine - Vetting Team

[samvara]

Lovely day for it, we were worried the weather was going to stay hot and feared 39C but it was cooler, overcast and there was even a breeze. There are not a lot of official duties on the day of the event for the vetting team so we went out for lunch then cruised around waving to teams and generally not exerting ourselves.

I was pleased to see teams hitting the farthest controls; they were only 4km out but the heat and the temptingly close ones made me wonder if they would get much in the way of visits.*grins* two teams swam the river carrying their shoes and packs rather than doubling back to cross bridges and a heartening number of people crossed the Bennet Brooke bridge despite its dodgy condition.



All in all, vetting was fun and despite the wistful urge to compete when I saw all the teams heading out it was a great experience.
