ALL WELCOME - Great for Beginners
Event style
The courses for this event are set in orienteering "cross-country" style. This means your map will show a course and you need to visit the checkpoints ("controls") in the order shown on the map. But remember that if you make a mistake you can go back and correct this - for example if you accidently went from control 2 to control 4, you could go back and do control 3 as long as you then again go to control 4.
It is important to check the control number at each control site to make sure it matches the one you are heading to. There will be other control sites (on other courses) around so take care to make sure you visit the right one.
A compass will be of use for navigating.
Courses
The Anzac Park map covers park, street and bush areas.
There will be short, medium and long courses as usual.
The short course will be in the park area with a section following tracks through the bush.
The medium course will include park and bush areas - controls are set in the bush area so that track options are available with some short excursions into the bush needed to reach control sites. Options for short-cutting through the bush are also available.
The long course will ...? Come along and find out for yourself!
