Aaron Prince and Chris Forne retained the NZ Rogaine Champs title in the Tararuas at the weekend. They beat Hamish Goodwin and George Christison by 240 points in fine warm weather. And in a surprise womens result Jenny Cossey and Fanny Lariviere beat Sara Wallen and Sia Svensson by 500 points! The Wellington pair was 13th overall - and would have been 7th if a 90-pointer had not been disallowed; it only recorded on one of the electronic units worn like watches round the wrist. Two had to be carried and "punched" by each team. The electronic system was designed and manufactured by Christchurch rogainer Pete Squires.

'Twas a great event. The culmination of 12-15 years in the planning!
All kudos to HVOC.
