Richcraft Recreation Complex orienteering training Thursday Orienteering Training (do not use)
September 14th 2017 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizer: Jeff Teutsch (Coach)
Map: Kanata Lakes
This is the first technical training session of the fall season.
Focus: Taking compass bearings
Meeting point: We will be meeting at the parking lot by the soccer field south of the Richcraft Recreation Complex off of Innovation Dr. See the map below. From there we will head in to a remote starting point in the woods.
There are several sessions focusing on compass bearings as part of the intermediate and advanced training program this fall. This first one will lay the foundation for future sessions so you can build good compass habits to use in all your orienteering.
There will be several levels of exercises for participants to do:
- Intermediate level star exercise with out and back controls
- Advanced level star exercise with out and back controls
- Compass bearing course with full or blanked out map for advanced participants after completion of star exercise.
