[roc-info] Orienteering this Wednesday

[Sergey Dobretsov]

Our next orienteering event will take place on Wednesday, June 29th, at Basil 
Marella park in Greece. To get there take I-390 to Vintage Lane (exit 25), turn 
West on Vintage and then turn right at the next intersection (northbound on 
Fetzner Road) and drive about a quarter of a mile to the  park entrance on the 
right hand side.
 
Three courses will be offered:

White: 1.4km, 9 controls
Sprint: 2.3km, 13 controls
Score-O:  60 min limit, 22 controls

Sprint and White course will be open from 6pm to 7pm. Score-O mass start will 
take place at 7pm.

White course will use a normal map. On the Sprint course I took liberty to 
remove all of the trails from the map to make it a bit more challenging 
(although that may actually be a blessing in this park). For Score-O two classes 
will be offered: “Regular” will use a normal map, “Pro” will use the same map as 
the Sprint course (i.e. with trails removed).

Sprint and Score-O participants will have opportunities to get both wet and 
muddy (technically, it’s possible to get wet on White course as well but that 
would take some creativity and determination).

The North part of the park has some soccer fields which will likely have a lot 
of kid practicing at the time of our event. So they are marked as out of bound 
area on the map – you must go around. There is also a frisbee golf (a.k.a “disc 
golf”) course in the woods and some of the controls are placed near the 
“baskets” (the standard name for target or hole in frisbee golf) which are 
marked as “X” on the clue sheet. Please be aware of low flying frisbees as you 
make your way through the course and be courteous to freesbie golfers if you 
happen to come across them.

As always, pleasepre-register online to make it easier for everyone!

Hope to see you all on Wednesday!
