We had a good turnout for an advanced event on a day that was great for orienteering. A little cool with occasional bursts of sun. We did have an issue with maps. They should have been printed at 100% (no scaling) on landscape orientation paper. Although I emphasized the need for not using shrink-to-fit, the […]

Chilly, yet sunny day, difficult courses, fields of blooming wild daffodils.Also first time we used 2.5m map (thank you, Dave!), that revealed true steepness and ruggedness of this place. Huge thank you to Brian Pike, who finished Red course and immediately went back to pick all far away controls, and that’s extra 5K on top […]

Thankfully, there is plenty of parking at Jordan Lake and people enjoyed one or two middle-distance courses on its new map. Our attendance was aided by three always-welcomed JROTC units who came out (Pamlico, Carteret, and Cary) […]

We had great conditions for our first orienteering event on Woodpecker Ridge, part of Falls Lake, State Recreational Area. We will definitely be back, and each time the map will improve steadily (though it was definitely serviceable for this event.) I generally try to design classic courses so that the run-in to the finish is […]
