Burnt Lands Orienteering Practice Thursday Orienteering Practice

Map: Burnt Lands PP

Parking and meeting point:

We will meet on Burnt Lands Rd (off March Rd). Look for the club banner. See google maps here for the exact location.

Practice details:

All groups will be focusing on compass work today - the perfect exercise for a small flat area :)

There will be a series of short (1-1.5km) loops. Advanced and Team Canada athletes will have the option of doing the loops with a 'fog-o' map where parts of the map are blanked out.

The intermediate group will have an opportunity to do one of the loops with an instructor and then can do more loops on their own.

You will want to have a headlamp with you this week as it will be getting dark around 7:00, and about half an hour earlier in the woods. We recommend a headlamp with a rating of at least 500 lumens and more is better. If you have any questions about headlamps just ask (jeff@ottawaoc.ca)

All participants should also bring a compass (we will have a few extras if you don't have one) and, optionally, a control description holder
