• Five Techniques for Intermediate and Advanced Orienteers

• August 3, 2024 10:00-11:00 a.m. 

• Champoeg Park, before the CROC meet

• For CROC members only

There are several navigation skills that an orienteer learns and uses, such as  orienting the map, taking bearings, and matching thump to the terrain. This workshop goes beyond that with five specific techniques for reaching control features. We’ll see collecting features, attack points, handrails, aiming off, and catching features on demonstration maps to explain the concepts. This is a “classroom” training meaning we’ll be sitting around a picnic table reading maps, and not traveling through the terrain. We will be outdoors. There will be a map exercise to explore best routes on several legs. 

This workshop is for people who have completed at least the Yellow level course. If you have done a course with a leg that stumped you, bring the map and we’ll put our heads together to find a good route.

This training is at Champoeg Park before the CROC meet, so you have the opportunity to apply these newly learned skills.

This training is for CROC members only; there is no cost. Register here by August 1, 2024, and we’ll send you the exact starting point. For questions and suggestions contact trainer Anndy Wiselogle.
