Results for open event at Umstead North October 20, 2019
We had a cold wet day at Umstead, but several hardy orienteers came out anyway and were rewarded by a reasonably dry afternoon. A fire in the shelter fireplace helped too! Three people came out early for the yellow to orange class and we had a good time with that while setting many of the…

You had to take the controls in order but you could skip as many as you wanted while making…

There was one problem for runners on blue, I had renumbered control 75 so that the actual control was 50, but I had failed to update the…
