We had a beautiful day for fall orienteering at Lake Crabtree. This is a relatively small park with a lot of bike and hiking trails. So for the advanced events (brown, green and red) we left the trails off the map. This seemed to be popular with most competitors who thought it provided a bit […]

Read MoreWe had a good turnout for the orienteering event at Umstead South on the weekend, Saturday was lovely weather. Sunday was distinctly cooler. A few folks showed up for both days, either just for orienteering, or for both ARDF and orienteering. We had some minor concern about the courses for Orange and above being a […]
