Explorer Orienteering
21 September 2017
The explorer unit enjoyed an evening of orienteering at our local campsite, Johns Lee Wood.
After a brief warm-up the Explorers were shown how to use the electronic timing equipment and sent out on 1 of 3 courses.
The results are as follows.
Orienteering Results
An explanation of abbreviations used in the results.
- dns – did not start – means the start box either wasn’t punched or wasn’t punched correctly.
- w followed by a number e.g. w6 – wrong number n – the nth control you punched was the wrong one.
- m followed by a number or range of numbers – you missed one or more controls e.g. m7-8, you missed numbers 7 and 8.
Unfortunately nobody managed to complete course B correctly. The time taken includes a 5 minute penalty for each control that was missed on course B.
If you want to see where you went (or where you should have gone!) the courses were as follows.
