Forest Training WET Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Caoimhe Murray (Event Director), Erica Lay (Controller)

Map: McCartney Creek

Forest Training WET to help prepare folks for the Cypress Map at the weekend!

We'll have a few shorter activities so you should have time to do them all if you arrive early. We'll have training materials with maps and pin flags out in the forest so this will be reasonably self directed but you'll also be able to ask questions and discuss how it's going for you! You'll work through the theory by jotting ideas/routes down on the map and then go out and try some legs/loops using the skills you've learned.

This will be more suited to beginner and intermediates than very advanced orienteers. But anyone who wants to brush up on skills should join and will benefit from the training. The relocation exercise in particular can be made more difficult to suit your level.

We'll be covering:

- Handrails and Catching Features

- Attack Points

- Relocating (hopefully you won't need to use this too much at the Cypress event but it might come in handy!)

The meeting location is at the end of a residential street - please be respectful of the neighbors and park considerately.
