East of Mundaring & Sawyers Valley
Orienteering returns to Yetar Spring, a map that we haven't been allowed to use for several years. The map now looks a bit different: the pine trees have gone and trail bike riders have added lots of extra tracks. However, it still provides very pleasant running in parts, and some complex areas to navigate through. Vegetation in the eastern part of the map has been thinned dramatically by a bush fire in 2021, but this part remains as steep and rocky as ever.
Yetar Spring is one of the closer maps to Perth so we hope to see you there! This event is one of the Junior State Team 2022 selection events.
