Pine Ridge Park
Orienteering Meet
6 November 2022


It was quite a warm day for early November; but it was bright and sunny and there was little wind - a good day for orienteering. We had a large turnout with 44 starts from 85 participants. There were quite a few scouts, most of them going on the beginner course in groups; in addition, we had about 16 others who were first-timers.

Ryan Knecht created three challenging courses. Although the people on the Beginner course had a lot of success, there were many DSQs and DNFs on the Novice course - mostly as a result of not going in sequence. No one came close to clearing the 90-minute Score course; this was to be expected. A few people came back with scratches and a few ticks; but otherwise, everyone seemed to have a good time.

Chris Cameron and his son Austin came to the event to record a segment on orienteering for the Kaleidoscope program. Chris interviewed a number of the participants both before and after they did their courses. Chris and Austin also went on part of the Beginner course. After the orienteering, the club held its annual potluck meal and annual general meeting.

Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Sherry Shank and Jen Livingston for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Jim Wolfe and Ryan Knecht for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Joe Logan for conducting instruction. And thanks to Dave Battista, Ryan Knecht, Naomi Jarvis, and Alexis Rzewski for doing control pickup.
