    The final day of the championships is – as usual – the 80m classic event. The location was similar to that of the 2m event, just North of the campground. The weather was a bit colder than in the previous days, but much drier. The forest was no different though. Many thanks for Charles Scharlau…

    Saturday’s event was the 2m classic. Only 5 transmitters, much fewer than the previous days. Everything went fine, we didn’t have any technical issues today. We were also grateful for the trails on the course today: the top finishers all made good use of them. The performance of the day is definitely Eduard Nasybulin’s 82…

    On Friday we continued with fox orienteering under drier conditions. The weather was close to perfect for orienteering and the forest was dry enough. The new format (where foxes are spread over three different frequencies and two modes) is in line with international competitions. Most people adapted to it fairly quickly. There was ample opportunity…

    It was a great day for orienteering – clear and sunny, but not hot. Courses turned out to be quite interesting too. There were 2 controls that caused problems to participants: #53 on the lake shore and #55 on a rock near a trail bend. The “lake controls” was in the right spot but well…

    A nice cool day for orienteering. The vegetation at Schenck is ever-changing. A large section that was cleared within the last two years turned out to be fairly confusing for runners not expecting it. Many thanks to Will and Dave for the control pickup.

    We had a great event at Eno River despite some unseasonably cold temperatures. Gheorghe designed some excellent courses; Joseph taught a well-attended beginner’s class; and Imre came with supplies to enjoy a fire in the shelter’s fireplace. Thanks to all who attended — we hope to see you again soon. Special thanks to William Allen,…

    A perfect spring day greeted 31 intrepid orienteers as they tackled a new “progressive scoring” Score-O event. The new format was generally well-received but the progressive scoring played more of a factor in the 2hr than 1hr, with William Allen gaining three spots based on the number of progressive controls obtained. For the 2hr runners,…
