Advanced Event in Birkhead Wilderness on May 12 2013

This event is for advanced orienteers (BOK members who have completed a brown, green, or red course). The event is in Birkhead Wilderness Area, Uwharrie National Forest, Asheboro NC. We’ll start from the Birkhead Wilderness Robbins Branch Trailhead. Directions are here.

Don’t forget, you must pre-register. There will be Brown, Green and Red courses available. The courses will be: 3.9KM, 6.0KM, 7.1KM respectively, with a fair amount of elevation gain on Red (300m). Some “there is nothing but rocks and they all look the same” orienteering will be offered on each course 🙂

Ticks are out there – take precaution.

The courses will be opened at noon and everybody must start by 1.30 PM and finish by 3 PM.
Help with controls pick up will be greatly appreciated!
