Organizers: Stan Woods (Event Director), Joanne Woods (Membership)
Map: Confederation Park
We will meet under cover at the North-West corner of the Sohen Gill Sports Box with a public restroom nearby. Plenty of free parking is available along Beta Avenue or the parking lot off of Beta Avenue and North-West of Confederation Park Elementary School.
Three different point to point courses will be offered for experienced orienteers who can do any or all of the loops (I expect most people will do 2 or 3 of the loops). Remember to bring your control description holders. Please register for the 'Training Loops' which are each designed to focus on the following orienteering skill:
Bearings course of 1.8 km and 50 m climb. Practice running on a straight compass bearing from control to control.
Control Descriptions course of 2 km and 30 m climb. Practice reading your control description before you start each leg so you end up on the correct side of a fence, wall, or hedge. Remember to bring your control description holders.
Route Choice course of 3.2 km and 35 m climb. Practice reading ahead before you start each leg so you choose the faster/shorter route and/or the route with the better attack point.
Beginners or those new to orienteering should register for the Beginner course of about 2 km in length. If you finish the beginner course early and want to do more you can head out on one of the Training Loops.
