A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s Regional Orienteering competition. We had a great turnout, fantastic weather, and some impressive navigation out on the trails!
We introduced bonus bearing challenges this year to test true compass and plotting skills. I would love to hear your thoughts on how your troops found them, please send through any feedback or suggestions on the bearings aspect and general so we can fine-tune for next year!
A big shout out to Penoc for helping set and run the event, our registration volunteers, and Bloemendal Wine Farm for hosting us.
