Race Notes--If any of you want to ruck as your looking for checkpoints feel free too.The things you need for this on the course is what I showed below.A small pack with water,a gallon ziplock bag for your map,punch card and clue sheet.Download Handy GPS beforehand to get used to it. Very easy.Lots of determination and the will to have fun. March 28 If you have never done an orienteering/land navigation style of an event you are missing out.These events have been around for lots of years and originated in Scandinavia / Sweden in the 1900's. They have become more and more popular. It's always been a part of adventure races over the years but now there are many stand alone events with different disciplines. Solo's,teams of 2 or 3 are my divisions.Grab a friend or family member and give it a try. A great way to learn terrain and getting around in the woods.
