So what's the forecast looking like? Start of the fourth wave and cancelled or risky at best?

Unfortunately for the organizers, I would stick it out to as late as feasibly possible before I commit my own cash to an entry.

Anybody that tells us they have certainty over when the 4th wave is due is not to be trusted. We simply don't know.

Heck, we can have a resurgence of the 3rd Wave even, nobody knows the future. We make best guesses based on what has happened in the past.

Does that change things?

So it should go on - but either fully vaccinated ...or...have a test done 24 hours prior

Each time we go up there we stop and take photos and just enjoy the little climb.

Looks spectacular... ????
Maybe I must give it a go one day, just to get the t-shirt.

That is great, if we are not in a position where we are going through a peak of serious infections. ie. Overflowing hospitals and people dying in high numbers. In that case the Government might again bring in Lockdown Level 4 and take away some privileges, regardless of whether CSA had a nice plan in place to reduce the risks.

But, if we have a rise in numbers that do not transfer into high hospitalizations, then I think the events will be allowed to proceed. Obviously, should also go ahead if cases hold steady.

My point is just that there is still uncertainty over whether it goes ahead, because these events need Approval from authorities, which can be denied.

Cases looking reasonable at the moment so should go ahead. Lets hope it stays that way

Me too, pushing the training a bit at the moment.
