Description
We'll be checking out a section on the North end of the Lynn Valley map this week. There'll be some urban and park orienteering for the easier course and trail/forest controls for the expert group. For the expert course be aware that there are some new trails in the area so not all the trails are shown on the map!
Please register by Tuesday evening to ensure that we have enough maps printed for the event.

Safety Precautions
Always use good judgement and common sense. Carry a whistle at all times. Headlamps are essential to see and be seen. Take care when crossing roads and parking lots. Watch out for other runners, cyclists, and trail/sidewalk users.
Parking/Start/Finish Locations
The start and finish will be at the Kilmer Park on Dempsey Rd close to Lynn Valley Rd. There should be plenty of parking in the park itself or street parking on Dempsey Rd.
