We had a good turnout at Gray Owl last weekend. Saturday was definitely the day to go because it was dry and sunny. Sunday was cold and wet, but those who came were prepared for the conditions and had a good time. It was challenging to offer all orienteering classes as well as 2m radio […]
Read MoreFor the past few years, we have had a weekend of stunningly spectacular orienteering and camaraderie on the NC coast in early February.

Read MoreDespite some very chilly weather and light rain, we enjoyed a great day of orienteering at Eno River, one of our region’s steeper and more rugged venues.

Read MoreWe enjoyed a really nice score course at Eno River. The weather was cool, with no precipitation; and the river level was relatively low. Some runners got to venture into some newly-acquired park land, including an old quarry in the far north. All in all, it was a very successful event. I designed this year’s […]
