Bruce Pit Navigation Training Thursday Orienteering Practice
May 10th 2018 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Map: Bruce Pit
Parking and meeting point: Bruce Pit, 175 Cedarview Road, Nepean, ON (see map below) - south edge of parking lot.
Training: This training exercise is all about reading contours.
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.
There is one 0.9 km warm-up course with a few controls out to a spot in the middle of the nice woods and contours and then 5 courses of 1.0 to 1.3 km in length. You can do as few or as many of these as you like.
For the advanced group the trails have been taken off of the map to force you to navigate by compass and contour.
The intermediate group will be working with the same courses but with trails on the map (there are lots of trails!). All of the controls are on contour features which our coaches will help you decipher.
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.
