6th Annual Owl Prowl Night Score O

Organizer: David Ross (Course Planner)

Map: Fundy National Park

Once again we return to Fundy National Park for our annual night O and once again with SportIdent timing.

Two courses, beginner and advanced, are offered with one hour to get as many controls as possible. Courses are usually set up so that they can be run as a point to point event so that splits between controls can be compared. In a score O though you can skip any of your course controls if desired.

This is a perfect way to try to tackle orienteering in a dark sky reserve. The near full moon will not rise until after the event has finished so this event promises to be dark or very dark depending upon cloud cover and or fog.

The course setter is contemplating abandoning the use of the traditional reflectors at the control sites in order to ramp up the challenge. Perhaps that twist may be delayed for another year.

More details to come.
