Results for Advanced Event in Birkhead Wilderness on Apr 6, 2014
Thanks to everyone who came to the event! It’s gratifying to see people come so far away from home to compete in an orienteering event. Birkhead Wilderness is our most remote location (1.5 hours drive), but it is also one of the most beautiful and interesting ones. If you weren’t able to come this time,…

Kudos to everyone who came to the event despite a dismal weather forecast! 100% chance of cold rain – we wouldn’t blame anyone for staying home, but rain or no rain, orienteering is always fun! And, as it turned out, the rain was more like a drizzle, and the cold wasn’t really that bad, and…

One of the main trails on the Yellow course almost disappeared under the autumn leaves, which provided additional challenge. And runners on the red…

We promised heat, ticks and spiders. We definitely delivered on the spiders 🙂 Hopefully, ticks spared the runners and the weather was blessedly cool for this time of the year. Many people showed up and we had a great event! The courses proved to be very challenging (hence long times) with different controls causing trouble…

The weather was great and the courses very difficult. Kudos to all who came and competed! It’s hard to pinpoint the hardest control. Based on the responses we got, there were many. Which is a good thing for an advanced event 🙂 The general idea for the course was: start with a few tough controls…
