Have Fun in the Woods Orienteering… with the best maps in the world
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.
We had a beautiful cool day. It felt like fall with the sun behind the clouds. Charles Scharlau set the course and eight people went out. This event was set up like an official ARDF classic 80 m course with a start corridor, becon, and finish. People found anywhere from 3-5 transmitters. One interesting note, is that the Beacon stopped registering correctly after Nadia, the first finisher. Thus I modified everyone’s beacon to finish time to be 10 seconds. This has no effect on total finish time.
