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 […]

Results for Open event at Lake Crabtree March 19th 2023

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 […]

Results for Dorothea Dix open fun event on May 1

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 […]
