Meeting Location
- Meet at the small covered area in front of Trafalgar Elementary School, located a few blocks NE of 25th Ave and Macdonald St.
- There is lots of free street parking.
Notes
- Bring a map bag and/or a control description holder if you have them. A good headlamp is necessary!
- Please cross 25th Ave carefully.
- This might be a good opportunity to bring out the goretex shoes (or bring a change of shoes).
- There are lots of dinner options near Broadway and Macdonald for afterwards.
Wednesday Evening Training
- What should I bring? Wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting a little dirty! If it's wet outside, you might want to consider a change of shoes and socks! A headlamp or flashlight and reflective clothing is critical in the winter months (late September to April). A compass is optional (we have extra ones for borrowing). For added safety, a whistle is mandatory for all GVOC events. Read more in the WET Introduction to Orienteering.
When should I sign up? Please sign up by Tuesday night so that we can print enough maps, although we have extra maps if you forget.
How much does it cost? All WETs are free with yearly membership.
