Deb is registered for today's Orienteering event. It's the first bush O this year.
Will I go with Deb?-- Yes -- just to the parking area. Let Deb do the active stuff :-)
It's a bit over an hour's drive, I sleep for most of it.
There are two side-by-side ACROD parking bays, very convenient.
Deb parks in one bay, knocks the trolley against the car in the next bay. There is a rude comment from the next car. Deb apologises, there is no response.
I climb out of our car. Grab my trolley. Make sure that my white stick is clearly visible, slowly circle the next car. Yep, they have overlapped, too close into "our" bay
Without actually snarling at the other driver, I circle slowly
... like a dog sniffing and marking its own territory Point made, I hope. :-)

I'm uncomfortable in new areas, where I need to be very careful where I step.
I walk as far as the toilet, being very careful to remember the direction back to the car.
The ground is rough bitumen, edged with gravel.

The toilet is a portaloo on the back of a small trailer, standard O rental equipment.
I don't remember the steps being so high! At the top I fumble the hand rail and do a rather graceless stumble into the toilet... but catch myself on the handbasin. I'm even more careful getting out again.
Get back to, into the car and relax, not quite asleep, while Deb is competing.
