Orienteering - December 2017


Orienteering competition at the Westmoreland Sanctuary last Saturday.  The objective is to use a map to find the fastest way between control points.  The control points act as course markers and have to be hit in the correct order.  Miss a control point or go out of order and you get a Did Not Finish (DNF).  All the teams that get their control points punched correctly in the right order are then ranked by time to determine the winner.

The Troop split up into teams to tackle the course and after some trial and error scored rather high beating all other competitors on the White course.  Next time we will step it up and will try the Yellow or Orange courses.

Thanks to Kevin Smith and Scott Jeffery for making this event possible with their attendance and driving.  Special thanks to Kevin for photographing the day.
