Members Event in Birkhead wilderness on Apr 2, 2017

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 (35.589782, -79.947795).

Don’t forget, you must pre-register. There will be Brown, Green and Red courses available. For a change, only a few rock formations will be used for control placement this time.

Ticks are out there – take precaution.

Help with controls pick up will be greatly appreciated!
