Night O



Night orienteering is fun, but it can be challenging. If you want try, gain some more experience, or just have good orienteering training session, there is a night orienteering course set up on the Chedoke Falls map. The ribbons already out there, so you can choose when you want to run, but the ribbons will be taken down Friday. However, parts of the course is on the Chedoke golf course, so running during the day is NOT an option. Also, since some ribbons are on the course, there is no guarantee they will not be removed by a golfer or worker. Parts of the course are in the woods around the golf course, and there is also a small urban section. In other words, a great area for night O. You can either do this as a point-to-point orienteering, or score O. Your choice. This training is open to all members of any Ontario orienteering club. E-mail, before Tuesday, hans.fransson@cogeco.ca if you are interested, and a jpeg, or gif-file with map will be sent to you. Arrangements to get a hard copy might be possible, again, e-mail Hans.

For GHOers: This training will be this week's TNT. If you need to borrow a headlamp. Let me know, through e-mail, or post a comment. If coaching will be available, it will be posted as comment. Don't forget that the Raid is around the corner! Time to fine tune those navigation skills. If you can do it by night, day orienteering won't cause you a problem.
