UPDATES

6/24/02  Please do not leave payment at the start as originally suggested.  Envelopes will be at registration and Scarborough Orienteering table for your US O-team donations after training.

The marked course will be something like a short Brown, about 10 controls in 2.87 km with shortcut alternatives of 1.93 and 1.28.

The course will be unmanned.  Reserved maps with names will be a the start 70 meters north of the trail junction as shown on the map below.  This map is the only guide to the start so you may want to have a copy with you.  There will be pink ribbons to follow near the start.

As of 2:00 pm there are about a dozen sign-ups

6/25/02  The target is to have the course and maps ready at noon on Friday but it could be earlier.  Ribbons may be retrieved around dusk.  See me or inquire at registration for Saturday morning training.

Reservations can be made until 10:00 a.m. on Thursday.

6/26/02  I expect to be at the ski club parking area briefly at noon.  Look for the white van with BAOC  plates.

To reserve a map for the training area just send Joe@orienteer.com an e-mail. Map pickup and payment will be on the honor system at an unmanned start as in 2000.   Ribbons will be hanging Friday afternoon and probably Saturday morning for a suggested advanced course.

Training setup and map printing is by Scarborough Orienteering for a suggested donation of $2.00 or more to the US Orienteering Team.

Note: This is not meant as a model course in any way. You will be completely on your own and at your own risk.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Have fun.
