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 […]
Read MoreIntroduction We will have two events at Umstead South on the weekend of November12-13, open orienteering on both days and Radio Orienteering (Radio-O/ARDF) on Saturday only.

Read MoreIt was a beautiful spring day for orienteering at Dix Park today. Unbeknown to us and to the Dix calendar, there was a large “Racing for Rescues 5K” run at Dix this morning with police blocking entrances until around 11:00.

Read MoreOn Tuesday Nov 9, we taught an in-person class for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) students at NCSU’s McKimmon center, followed by a white and yellow course at Schenck forest. David Waller and I taught a similar class a few years ago, so it was nice to be back doing it again. We had perfect […]
Read MoreWe had a hot and humid day for the Lake Crabtree Sprint event. The forecast scattered thunderstorms did not materialize for which we were truly grateful. Most folks found the courses sufficiently challenging for a hot summer day. The runners who tackled all three courses were generally tired by the end. Lake Crabtree has a […]

Read MoreAfter a big storm on Saturday and promise of possibly more storms Sunday afternoon, the weather turned out to be pretty reasonable for most of the day and participants had a good time.
