Gray Owl Weekend Results Nov 14-15, 2020
Quite an ambitious event with white – blue orienteering courses, a 60 and 90 minute night event and a 2m ARDF event. The weather was perfect, cool and breezy. Thanks to Charles for setting up the ARDF event and to Josef and Jiri for picking up the far controls. All of this happened on the…

Results for Nov 8 event in Eno River (Bobbitt Hole)
It was a beautiful autumn day. On a warmer side, but runners had ample opportunities to cool down during multiple river crossings. A few people had troubles finding safe spots for the crossings, but most of the runners went only about a knee deep. The trick was to look for grassy and/or rocky areas, both…

Schenck-O-Scare Night-O Results
The full moon was absolutely unique on the Halloween evening. I hope everybody had a good time. A few notes: Mihai forgot to move the start control to the actual location – apologies! As explained by Dave, the South-East side of the map is out of bounds, but Mihai did not know that. This explains…

Radio-O/ARDF Eno – October 25, 2020 – Results
It rained, it rained, all day. But fifteen participants still came out to race for the foxes. There were slippery roots, muddy depressions, and pointy rocks hidden under leaves. During the post race discussions a number of adventures were recounted. With everyone staying in good cheer it was a super fun event. This was mostly…

Umstead West Oct 18 – Results
We had a perfect day for orienteering on Sunday. Our originally planned open event at Umstead South was not approved as so many people are parking there because other activities such as youth sports are not happening during the Covid-19 crisis. Indeed when I went to set controls on Saturday around 2pm, traffic at the…

We had a nice event on a new map of our latest orienteering venue, Horton Grove Nature Preserve in Bahama NC. Many thanks to the land managers, Triangle Land Conservancy, for supporting the mapping of this park, and for supporting the occasional event that we hope to have there in the future. Despite the fairly…

Results for Oct 4 Open event (Carolina North)
It was our first truly Open event since March and, I am happy to say, that it was a success. The safety procedures we implemented combined with 100% online registration worked well, and as a result more than 50 people were able to enjoy the courses. With perfect weather too! We have some ideas about…

Results: 8/23 Crabtree Sprint
Lake Crabtree County Park is a convenient, accessible park in the heart of the triangle, and is very popular on the weekends. It has a good system of mountain biking trails which are well maintained through the joint efforts of the parks system and Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC). This means that trails are constantly being…

ARDF Results Aug. 16, 2020
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,…

Gray Owl Results ARDF & O 8/1/ & 8/2/2020
Most people came on Saturday and just a few on Sunday. We started at 7am so the early birds could stay cool. Even so the humidity was so high that we were soaked setting out the 1.6k ARDF sprint at 6:30, just walking. Some people had a problem with control #10, only on Red, and…
