Map: Queen Elizabeth Park
Description
Please come out to the next WET this Wed – Sept 19th.The format will be a one person relay – 3 short legs A, B, C for a total of about 3.5 kms. The legs can be run in any order and the idea is to have a mass start for those interested at 6.45 pm. The 3 legs will be on one map.
If you are new to orienteering or want something shorter the recommendation is to do one or two of the legs.
Please bring a headlamp and the idea is that you should be able to do most (if not all) of the course before the sun sets at 7.20 pm.That is assuming it is going to be a nice day……
