Orienteering Raleigh NC

Backwoods Orienteering Klub, founded November 15, 1978 sponsors events and teaches orienteering in the North Carolina piedmont, around Raleigh, NC.

We invite you to try orienteering with us. Everyone is welcome at all our events. We always offer beginning, intermediate, advanced and expert courses (routes through the woods) at every Regular event.

March 22, Falls Lake Results

Thank you to all the competitors who came out to our first o-meet. The sun never really came out until control pickup time, but it was pleasant and dry. Or at least dry above the ankles for those who passed through the muddy patches. Thank you especially for keeping up the good cheer while braving the thorns. From the look of Brian Thompson at the finish, you would suspect there was a loose tiger roaming Falls Lake.

Congratulations to Kevin Wilkinson and his son who took first place on Brown, Josef Trzicky taking first on green, and Vladimir Stemkovski taking first on red.

Kelly and I had to make some difficult choices balancing our skills at control placement and map reading with designing a challenging course. We were worried that the course would be a bit easy. But almost everybody said they enjoyed it and found it challenging. In particular, several competitors reported the run from controls 12 to 13 on red offered nice orienteering challenges. That made us really happy. On the down side, almost everybody had problems with control 14 because of a plethora of unmarked trails and a lack of attack points. Sorry about that one. Also, sorry about the map being shifted on the paper so that the lake on the West side was not visible; Oops.

Thank you to all who took the time to give some detailed critiques of the course. It was really appreciated. Also, thanks to Charles and Nadia Scharlau for showing us the latest version of their GPS mapping app; very cool.

During the event, we noticed our first mosquito and our first tick of the year. So get ready with your bug spray for future events.

We would like to thank those who stayed to help pick up controls: Vladimir and Tatyana Stemkovski, and Robert Enochs. Also a great thanks to Ian Shields who reviewed our course and showed us how to use all the equipment.

Thanks again for all who came out and made it a super event.

Patrick & Kelly
