Sorry, if some of the results are not that accurate...

Description

This week's WET features a special score orienteering training without maps. It is more a brain training which I named filling station orienteering. There are prominent locations at the start and in Jericho Beach Park where you find maps to fill your brain with information concerning the location of the controls. These locations are marked with the "drinks" symbol on the map. With the help of the maps you should memorize and find the controls. Please don't take the map, only memorize it. If you run out of information, you have to go to another map and refill your brain. There is no plotted order for the controls, so you have to build your own route. The beginner course will be short and easy with only 2 controls to memorize. I'll hand out a map if you're worrying too much about it. Please add a comment, so that I know how many maps I have to print. The advanced course is more challenging with 2 to 5 controls to memorize ideally. I offer also an elite course additionally for all of you who want to beat the real challenge with only two filling stations and 16 controls. Hope you enjoy it :)
