Results, Shackleford Banks
We orienteered for the first time at Shackleford Banks, the Western tip of Cape Lookout National Seashore. After a chilly 20-minute ferry from Beaufort, we were free to play on the 8-mile long island, with only a couple dozen other humans, and over one hundred wild horses. Many thanks to park superintendent Jeffrey West and…

From meet director, Carl: Thank you for bringing Orienteering to the coast. This was our 3rd annual event and we enjoy helping host it. This year we changed the start location to the West end of the park due to Covid and close proximity to visitors at the Fort. Because of the location change we…

Gray Owl Map Critique Results
We had a beautiful sunny day. 10 people ran the course and to my delight everyone thought the map was very good. There were a few minor details about different ways of interpreting an area, and some rocky ground that I missed, however I am encouraged to continue my mapping. We only had 6 controls…

Results — Occoneechee Mtn.
On a near perfect day for orienteering, we enjoyed an expert-level event on a new map of Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area. Although it is a fairly small park, it has more than its share if interesting rocky features, steep cliffs, earth banks, and complex patterns of thick vegetation. These made the short courses pretty…

Still, 22 runners/teams attempted the challenge, some running full steam, others walking, jogging or pushing their kids in a stroller. There…

Participants…

ARDF Practice Results Dec 9 2020
It was a very successful event. We set out 7 transmitters in seven different regions. Two regions were mostly in the exclusion zone. Those transmitters were on 3.51 on a 30/30 schedule. The other five were further out on 3.58 and on the classic 60/240 schedule. There was no beacon. The closest of the two…

2020-11-22 Umstead North results
Thanks to the park management at Umstead, we were allowed to hold an expert event with limited capacity at one of our favourite locations. The weather turned out to be perfect, the woods were wide open, and the courses were tricky. The terrain allowed for some fast running, but a small mistake could cost runners…
