Are you interested in a beginner/intermediate-friendly map and compass course/refresher? Whether you want to do some orienteering events, a backpacking trip, or gain knowledge of how to get yourself out of the woods in a sticky situation, this may be of interest to you!
Limited space available, so we can only accommodate 12 participants.
The outdoor portion (rain, shine, or snow) will be out in the woods on/off Hiking Trail Road/Pipeline Road (former Bowater land).
Be prepared to be on your feet for a few hours (3-4) with lots of discussion and pointers while practicing what we learned indoors.
Please bring a compass :-)
I'm a map and compass nerd who is also a land survey technician. I've been teaching map and compass courses since 2005 and have hosted/organized 20-30 orienteering races/adventure races since 2003 (all before trail running became our focus)! I've participated in many adventure races/orienteering races since 1999, including the Eco-Endurance Challenge (every year they hosted it since 2003), a few multi-day adventure races and I've been fortunate enough to be a 6-time participant at the Barkley Marathons....and I was even the provincial orienteering champion at one time! Nerdy eh? I told you so! 🙂
