There's a few limitations in the DEM (digital elevation model) that are obvious and well known but that's looking not much more than last time. But enough to make the punters down along Kings Billabong to the Racecourse nervous. And Wentworth too. The big problem this time will be duration...it probably won't get back down until well into the New Year. And that assuming it doesn't rain again until Xmas...
You pretty much nailed it. We didn't hold the first race until May and that was on a whole 3km of track we scratched back into the high points around the Playpen, conveniently missing the destroyed man-made obstacles.
It took us another 6 months to re-instate a revamped 10km track (now closer to 11km), but the high-water that came over winter took out half of what we'd done in the Playpen and we haven't used the trailhead since. The Golf Club have been super helpful and let us use the far end of the practise fairway as the start line. We have the Eliminator this weekend so I'll coax a few of them to go down and have a look.
