Description
The week's WET will be in the challenging forest terrain of Ioco. It will be a great opportunity for people to gain further forest experience.
However, the challeging nature of the terrain is not appropriate for beginners.
As such we ask any first time orienteers not to attend this WET and will not be providing compasses to borrow.
We will also be sending participants out in paris.
