The day of the event proved to be a glorious sunny day with ideal weather for orienteering. Whilst the fall of leaves left some paths less visible, and wiped out one area of ground vegetation that was going to be used for a control, the forest gave some great orienteering experiences with a mixture of […]

The open sprint at Bond Park scheduled for April 30 has been cancelled as the park is not scheduling events for that day. “Spring Daze Festival is that weekend in Bond Park on Saturday and we are not scheduling anything on Sunday in the event that we need to use that as our rain date […]

We had a lovely, if cool, day for orienteering at Lake Crabtree today. The courses were compact and we used the Motala format for green and red where the course consisted of two loops with a map exchange between them. This allowed more controls in a smaller area (a denser control set) without crowding either […]

For the past few years, we have had a weekend of stunningly spectacular orienteering and camaraderie on the NC coast in early February.  This year we are planning this weekend to be later — March 11 & 12 — hopefully to capitalize on weather that is agreeable enough to camp overnight on Shackleford Island between […]

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 […]

It 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. A very strange coincidence with our “dog bone” score-O. We were able to run the […]
