White/Yellow courses are on the map called “Waiuku North” and will be on the north side of the Event Centre. Orange/Red/Purple courses are on the map called “The Escarpment” and will have a 15-minute walk along the track beside the fence line on the edge of the mine to the Start area.
Do not cross the fence line into the mine area or into the forestry area – stay on the track to the Start, as the mine area and forestry area are Out of Bounds while you are walking to the Start.

• Course Setter/Mapper:Wayne Aspin  Controller:Jo Wood
• Map scale for all courses:1:7500  Contour interval:3.5m
• Toilets:There will be a toilet at the Start area for the Orange/Red/Purple courses.
• Map notes:The Course Setter has designed courses to have maximum use of the white/fast run areas of the map. Indistinct tracks have been mapped but some are more indistinct than others. Full body cover and a whistle are recommended. Closer to the coast, there is much wind-blown and fallen branches and trees. The worse affected areas are indicated by green stripes on the map.

NWOC members - please bring along any 2024 club trophies you may have and give these to Lisa Mead.
