Wed 22nd Dec SSS10 - Elermore Vale

Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map (and usually a compass) to navigate between checkpoints (known as “controls”) along an unfamiliar course. If you like a mental and physical challenge and exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

SS10 - Elermore Vale

The club helds its last official event for the season at Elermore Vale last evening. Sam Howe made her debut as a course setter and did a fine job. Here are a few words form her.....

Thanks to everyone for coming. It was a challenging course but a lot of people gave me positive feedback about the large range of options for route choice.
Sorry a few of the clues were a bit hard to see - I could have improved those. I had lots of fun setting the course but I've been told to choose a less hilly area next time.

Sam's helpers were
Vetting/helping/fixing: Russell and Carolyn Rigby
Set-up: Mick Kavur, Shane Jenkins, Kendall O'Connor, David Messenger and Viola O'Connor
Start: Kendall and Viola O'Connor
Finish: Shane Jenkins, David Messenger and Josh Blatchford

See you all next year with events resuming on the 5th of January at Maryland.
