Orienteering in Jonkershoek:
postponed to the 14th of August 2010.
MTN Sciencentre in partnership with the Peninsula Orienteering Club
Back by popular demand – orienteering with a twist of science!
COURSE: This will be a Score Event with 25 check points – your team will have one hour to find as many check points as possible and punch your score card. Five of these check points will have MTN Sciencentre puzzles and you will get bonus points if you can solve the puzzles. Your whole team has to report to the finish line within 60 minutes – you’ll be penalised 100 points for every minute you’re late! Each team will get a full-colour map of the area (scale 1:5000) with the checkpoints clearly marked.
