It was a perfect day for orienteering. We had good turnout and challenging courses, especially Orange. Moreover the very first control on Orange was about 15 meters off (on a wrong knoll closer to the re-entrant). You could see it from the right spot, but still it made it harder to find. Sorry about that……

Beautiful weather for this event.  The courses were complex as typical for Josef’s courses.  Thanks to Josef for course design, control setting, and registration, Joseph and Ruth for course layout, printing and pre-registration, Debra and Jeff Rezeli and Dave Waller for control pickup. One final note: In the Pre-Registration Form the section that says “Number…

It was a perfect autumn weekend for orienteers from Charlotte, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana to join local BOK members for three events, all run within 24 hours at Eno River state park.

Most competitors enjoyed themselves and found the courses challenging, particularly the orange and up, although even yellow had some…

02 Oct 2016, Carolina North Forest Three advanced courses found nearly two dozen BOK orienteers on the west side of Carolina North Forest, in some of its most intricate areas. These are places with a lot of features packed into a small space, or a lot of twisty trails, trail crossings, and intersections to keep…

The pizza delivery worked this weekend and with a addition of fruit…
