On Sunday, December 04, BOK will host its 9th annual December Score-O. This year, we are back at Eno River. A “Score-O” involves a course with no predetermined route, in which competitors decide which controls they want to visit, and in which order. This event will have 2-, and 4-hour options. It is open to […]
Read MoreWe had a good turnout for the orienteering event at Umstead South on the weekend, Saturday was lovely weather. Sunday was distinctly cooler. 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 MoreEight competitor groups (ten individuals) participated in the 80m classic course competition on November 12. Everyone located all the controls on their course, and no one was OT! That is especially impressive because it was the first time on a standard course for three of them. All the first-timers were graduates of Nadia Scharlau’s beginner classes. Congratulations to all.
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. We do not recommend attempting both ARDF and orienteering on Saturday. If you do decide to do so anyway, you will need to register (and pay for) each separately. […]

Read MoreI (Mihai) apologize for posting the results so late. The event was run in parallel with a NJROTC event in the same area of the park. The advanced courses reused some of the controls set by Dave for the other event, which made the organization much easier (thanks Dave!). Also, not having seen the controls […]
Read MoreWe had a perfect day for orienteering and exploring the streets (and quite literally, the backwoods) of Cary and Morrisville. Thanks to everyone who came, it turned out to be a fun event. Apart from a couple of minor issues (such as new Halloween decorations, that were not there when I scouted for control locations) […]
Read MoreFor the third (sub)urban orienteering event in Cary we return to where it started: North Cary Park. There will be a 2 and a 4-hour category. Additionally, a bike option is also available.Note that this event isn’t a regular orienteering event. In particular, this wouldn’t qualify for scouting merit badges. Registration All participants need to register online […]

Read MoreIt was a great day for being outside. The event went well and everybody seemed to have fun. Of course, people got lost, and had to repeatedly chase “the fox” (aka Tanya and me). Some people even managed to ran out of the map :). Next time maybe we should switch direction of the “fox” […]
