Timm Dr North Navigation Training Thursday Orienteering Practice
May 3rd 2018 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Map: Timm Drive
Parking and meeting point: NCC Greenbelt P4 - on Timm Dr just West of Haanel Dr (see map below)
Training: This training exercise is all about compass bearings.
There will be SI timing on the course so if you have an SI stick of your own do bring it along with your compass and other gear.
For the advanced group there will be a two courses through the nicest sections of the map and terrain where taking straight compass bearings will be the way to do the course. The total length of the two courses is around 6 km.
For the intermediate group there is 2 km loop with the controls on or near trails but the legs cut straight through the woods - i.e. use your compass! There will be a discussion and instructions about how to take a good bearing, aiming off, and more.
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.
