Unfortunately weather conditions during October were not really encouraging for afternoon Summer Activities.
With the onset of the Summer months we are hoping the gale force winds will start to abate.
Friday 1st November the Fun Friday Obstacle Circuit participants were entertained by a very friendly Halloween Witch who managed to do four circuits of the obstacle course, despite her long black cloak and very long finger nails.
Not to be outdone by Crissy the Witch, sisters Layla and Cailin Burbage managed to be the top scorers and completed eight circuits. This activity is not a competition, participants compete against themselves.
The aim is to have fun while running or walking , jumping, crawling, hopping, balancing and throwing objects while making their way around the obstacle circuit at their own pace.
For interest we count how many circuits each participant can manage during the afternoon. Which possibly will encourage them to steadily increase their number.
Friday 16th November at Willandra is our next Fun Friday starting at 6pm. Any one interested please feel free to join us. For folk not so keen on obstacles, you are welcome to have a walk or run around the hills of Willandra.
Our Saturday Sunset Run at Shoalhaven Heads on 2nd November at 5pm saw six very brave competitors battle the very strong north easterly wind. Jon Schol managed to reduce his previous 4k time, while Cristine Suffolk and Paul Jennings had their first run on this nice flat course and are sure to improve.
Saturday 9th. November was our first Sunrise (8am) activity held on the Nowra side along the banks of Shoalhaven River.
It was encouraging to have eighteen participants walking or running over another attractive course, thanks to Paul Jennings for his ideas and planning.
Reuben Pichler set the pace from the beginning and finished first in the 4.2k event. Well done to all nine runners, especially young Johanna Pichler who bravely completed the distance.
The 2k run saw young Matilda Hewatt and her dad Tim take out first and second place, while the 3.4k walk was enjoyed by Hati Onsel and three daughters, Marley Hewatt and mother Karen and despite not able to run, it was pleasing to see Kevyn Davis join the walk.
This same venue and 8am start will be used again on Saturday 16th November. Please join us on the western side of the bridge near the café if you would like an early morning run or walk. Also feel free to join us at the café after for breaky, morning tea or just a chat !
