Read MoreThis was the second time we used this new map (thank you, Dave!). And both times people liked it a lot. Plus this time we were fortunate to have a very fine weather (as opposed to cold rain). The courses were challenging, the spring woods gorgeous. Controls 45, 46 and 50 proved to be the […]
Read MoreThe event announcement is below the results section We had a terrific event at Eno River. The transmitters were set so that choosing the best order was quite difficult.

We probably had too many people heading for control 1 on the advanced/expert courses at the same time. We’ll try and remember […]

Needless to say he was pretty soggy by the time he got to the car. Thank you Charles for setting up a very good course. Several people had some of their best runs. […]

Read MoreSaturday was a great success. Lots of beginners and military at their first orienteering event. Everyone finished only two people mispunched. One didn’t check the code, and the other didn’t realize he missed it. We forgot to put the north lines on the Saturday maps, so we we put them on the Sunday maps, but […]
