Orienteering Raleigh NC

Backwoods Orienteering Klub, founded November 15, 1978 sponsors events and teaches orienteering in the North Carolina piedmont, around Raleigh, NC.

We invite you to try orienteering with us. Everyone is welcome at all our events. We always offer beginning, intermediate, advanced and expert courses (routes through the woods) at every Regular event.

07-12-2009 Results. Sprints at North Umstead.

Finally we got a really hot summer orienteering event. Merciful heat even early in the morning definitely added difficulty to the already “above average” sprint courses with unusual 1:7500 map scale. Apparently map scale wasn’t such a big issue after all. Main problems orienteerers talked about were: barely visible control circles on the map, disappeared trail in the north section of the area, hidden controls, uphill finishes and some discoloration on a few maps. I have to take blame on at least two of those issues… The reason for the circles being hard to see was me changing a scale of the map at the last moment and after I adjusted the circles for different scale. Hidden controls, which maybe not very appropriate for sprints, on me too, but, at least, they were placed precisely. I also checked the trail in question after the meet – it is indeed barely visible and the map should be refreshed there. Anyway.

Despite all that the turnaround was great and I believe people enjoyed these challenging sprint courses.

Special thanks to:

  • Tanya Stemkovski – controls setup and pickup
  • Michael Stemkovski – start setup and pickup
  • Joseph and Ruth – printing extra maps
