On a typical hot July day in Raleigh we had 17 brave orienteers come out for the sprint event. We had two courses of close to 3KM each with a shorter variant of about 2km. Everyone tried two courses. This was also the first opportunity to pick up the new BOK clothing items. See separate…

Gray Owl ARDF & “O” 6/20-21/20 Results
As summer was about to start, we had a few cool days. Then came the weekend. Saturday, for the ARDF event, wasn’t too bad, but Sunday was definitely summer and everybody suffered. We had more DNF’s than we’ve had in a long time. We used a new area of the Birkhead Wilderness for the ARDF…

ARDF/Radio-Orienteering – 80m Classic at Carolina North Forest – 2020-05-31 – Results.
We had a nice day of radio-orienteering at Carolina North Forest. We had ten participants come out to search for foxes. The rain finally stopped the day before. The ground was still pretty wet but the temperature was wonderful. We have pictures from the event here. It was down-sized 80m classic. Shorter distances. No start…

Orienteering Results at Gray Owl & ARDF May 23-24

Three diehards competed at Robbins Branch in the Birkhead Wilderness on Saturday, and then we three joined another 24 for an Orienteering course on Sunday. Everyone had to sign up for a particular time to start so we never…

Results — Carolina North, 10 May 2020
Nearly every event report begins with a statement about the day’s weather, and that’s the function of this sentence. Mother’s Day 2020 saw fun times at Carolina North with the customary fast courses and multiple trail options. This event was originally planned to be the ‘foxchase’ format in which every other control is a common…

Results 05/02-3/20 Orienteering & ARDF
Charles set a flawless 6k classic ARDF course on Saturday – further testing his newly built equipment. We hope he will keep modifying and testing (after all, think about how many events are necessary to prove they are durable). Joseph & Ruth set Sunday’s courses including a complex ARDF FoxOring. The Orienteering courses included a…

Gray Owl 4/19/20 ARDF Results
We had another perfect ARDF event. This time we used, for the first time, transmitters and antennas that were built by Charles. The event came off without a hitch. The antennas are unique. About a year ago I wondered if we could have antennas that didn’t need a ground wire. This wire needs to lay…

Gray Owl 4/18/20 Results
After weeklong forecasts of rain, we had a beautiful day out at the Birkhead Wilderness. This event was a little different from usual. First, there was a ‘sprint’ on the 1:4,000 scale map of the Birkhead Rock Garden. Then the competitors turned their map over to a 1:10,000 scale map with much longer legs to…

Results — Eno River, 22 March 2020
For the second time in two weeks – by coincidence – expert orienteers were treated to some long-form courses, with relatively few controls and relatively long legs that required careful route choice. The red course, for example, had only five controls and one leg that was over 2.3 km long. People really differed on their…
