B-Meet: Constance Bay Spring Series
May 4th 2014 10:00am - 2:00pm
Map: Constance Bay
The forest for this Sunday's event is flat and fast which makes for super enjoyable orienteering in really nice woods. There are lots of controls out in the forest so please make sure to check your control codes carefully. There will be the usual four courses offered:
- Novice 2.1 km on trails
- Intermediate 4.3 km
- Short Advanced 4.6 km
- Long Advanced. 7.6 km
While it shouldn't be out yet, later in the season Torbolton Forest in Constance Bay is covered in poison ivy. You should not need to worry about it this early in the season but if you know you react strongly to poison ivy it would be a good idea to wash your self and your clothes quickly after the race.
