Orienteering Meet 2007 - Report and Results

Once again we attempted to master Whinlatter Forest.

This is a “find-as-many-as-you-can-in-a-given-time” type of event with severe penalties for being late back. I expected that some would not return within the allotted 60 minutes and incur penalty points (10 points per control but minus 5 points for each minute late). 16 controls meant that 160 points were up for grabs and being 32 minutes late would wipe out the score to give 0.

1956 - 58 FMC Journal
