Usually, orienteering requires about an hour's prep for every hour's participation. So we're limited as to how many events we can put on. Here's a formula that gives us orienteering skills, and a run, while getting ready to take a turn planning an event. And it's close to home.

We meet at a nominated spot, having printed a map off the web. We put out 2 markers each and mark them on a master map. Someone joins the dots (long and short course options) and we run them. Collect up the markers and hive off to a cafe. Takes about 2 hours (not including coffee). Morning or afternoon, leaves the rest of the day free.

That's it. No entry fee, no timing, no results, no-one has to do anything before or after. (Well, put a map on the web, but we've got heaps of mapping. And there won't be a legend or fancy layout:-))

This is not a "series". It happens when someone spots a spare Sunday, chooses a spot, and puts it on the calendar. Simple as that. Read more about U-Max... Enquiries Ph 04 566 2645
