Dingle Scare 'O' Results

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:45:07 -0300

Ten of Nova Scotia's toughest orienteerers weren't scared of a little wind and rain on Sunday and came out to the Dingle for the score 'O' meet. When I went to hang the second control on the short course at a trail junction I couldn't find it and then I realized that the trail was in fact underwater as the tide had come right up over the seawall. Hopefully everybody has dried off by now and thanks for coming!

Mount Uniacke Results for October 22,2011

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:55:36 -0300

Thank you to all 34 participants for coming out on a beautiful fall day. It was a nice day to be out in the woods even if it was rather wet from all the rain. I hope everyone had fun.
I would like to apologize to everyone on courses 2 and 3 for the incorrect placing of a control that was used on both of these courses.
Thank you to Ashley Harding for looking after registration and to Ashley and Jim Blanchard for assisting with the picking up of the controls.
A compass was left on the registration table. I will try to have it at the next meet at Fleming Park next Sunday or if anyone is missing one they can contact me at ahharding@hotmail.com

A beautiful sunny day reigned over the first Cape Breton orienteering event to be had in a long time. Special thanks to all the hardy regulars who travelled up for the day, and to the newcomers for attending the clinic and trying out an event! Very close race on Course 3, but Ashley's still looking like the favorite to win the point series...
