McCarthy Woods Navigation Training Thursday Orienteering Practice
April 26th 2018 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Map: McCarthy Woods
Parking and meeting point: Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre - 3320 Paul Anka Dr
Training: This training exercise is all about vegetation (and a little bit about contours).
For the advanced group there will be a series of loops starting from the middle of the map where the controls are all on vegetation or contour features and you will need to navigate using those features. There will be the option to use a map with all the features on it or a map with the trails removed for more of a challenge (and to force you to use the vegetation and contours).
For the intermediate there will be a series of loops with controls on vegetation and contour features near trails. You will be able to use trails and other handrails to for the route choices but you will need to use vegetation and contour features to attack and find your controls. There will be an opportunity to go out on a map walk with one of the coaches at the start of the exercise.
The train to train program will use a combination of the advanced and intermediate exercises.
A reminder to please e-mail Jeff Teutsch at programs@ottawaoc.ca by noon on Thursday to reserve a map. We do not guarantee maps for those that don't send an e-mail but will have extra maps this weeks as this is the first training session of the spring season.
