Interesting New Orienteering at The Campus

ROC added a new feature at last Sunday’s event at The Campus. Alex Pope mapped a section of the underground parking. The parking was shown as a separate map next to the main map. Several people were caught out when they got to the transition point. Mainly because they had not read the event noticeboard!

Tim Chambers and Michele Botha cruised to victory in the men’s and women’s events while mother and daughter Tania and Sarah dead-heated for second. Alex plans to map the rest of the parking, so maybe we will have the first totally underground orienteering event!

Orienteering is a competitive form of land navigation. It is for all ages and degrees of fitness & skill. It
provides the suspense and excitement of a treasure hunt. The object of orienteering is to
locate control points by using a map and compass to navigate through the area.
