Description
Come out for a post-Valentine's-themed orienteering Fix at Confederation Park this week! 2 point to point courses of varying length. Terrain in this area is fairly straightforward and open, so great for beginner's. As I've done in the past, the longer course will be set with clusters of controls after a longer running leg, allowing you to read ahead, and then move more quickly through the clusters more by memory than by using the map. To go with the Valentine's theme, I've also bought some treats that I was going to hide out on the course, but that may be weather dependent...Come hang out and eat chocolate with me!
