INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS


Friday, November 29th

0800 - 1200: Field Evaluation - Do you trust the Line Orienteering Routes created by your peers the day before? The instructors will have selected the most interesting and will set up way points in the field to which you will orient (Stage 1). Then, determining a different route back to WRC, you will find your way home, plotting your route on the topographic map (Stage 2). Remember, your transport wants to return home tonight, so don't get lost!
