Approximately 25 of our reflective night-O controls will be tucked away at
various points on the university campus awaiting your discovery at our next
night orienteering event this coming October 7, a Friday evening. You will
have 45 minutes to garner as many as you can.
The moon will be overhead
but you'll need a headlamp for reading your map as well as for maximizing the
glow of the reflective controls. You'll also need a watch to keep
track of time.
Our assembly/registration/start/finish area will be on the
plaza in front of the administration building. That's immediately across
the mall road from the cactus garden (north side), adjacent to the student
union. For parking we suggest the large lot just south of Speedway (no
access from Speedway). Take Cherry to First, then west one block to Vine
from which the lot may be accessed. Walk south to the Mall, then east to
the assembly area, no more than 6 minutes away. Parking permits are not
required after 5 PM.
Here's the schedule:
Beginners's
clinic
6:30 PM
Registration
6:45-7:10
Briefing

Mass
start 7:15
Finish 8:00
Control
retrieval 8:00-8:30
Don't be too quick to depart after the event as bonus points will be
awarded for control retrieval. But do be quick enough to beat the finish
time as penalty points get awarded to late returnees. Remember, this is
all in fun. If you're a club member, bring a non-orienteering friend
to try out the sport for free. Also kids are free. Everybody else............$3/head
