Read MoreThe rain held off, and we had a blast. We used a new format (dubbed a ‘Foxhunt’ by Peter Thelin) in which score-O competitors were required to return to me after each control that they punched. Meanwhile, I was constantly moving around the perimeter of the park. It was virtually impossible to plan an overall […]

Read MoreHere is a much simpler way to attach the SI-box to the control. First the box is attached to one side with two wire ties. Then the ends of the string are passed through the holes in the other end of the box and secured to the flag using a constrictor hitch. Then an overhand […]
Read MoreIt was very hot. 97! Nevertheless we had a good turnout for this kind of weather. The courses were sufficiently difficult. 30 mins per control wasn’t that unusual. It wasn’t a particular control – almost every control caused delays for some of the runners. Several people went off the map too. Thank you all for […]
Read MoreWe had another ARDF 2m practice last Monday afternoon. Ruth, Joseph, and Imre participated. Imre and Joseph each set out a transmitter at 4:30 and Ruth joined us at 5:00.
