  • Mark Salas Oriented Orienteering with Lots of Fun Surprises
    The Wild Times August 2018 ROC helpline: (585) 310-4ROC (4762) Web site: roc.us.orienteering.org Find us on Facebook and on Meetup.com The official newsletter of the Rochester (NY) Orienteering Club ROC President's Corner... by Doug Hall "A volunteering safety bearing" Many of us have had the experience while orienteering of becoming "lost". I have had this experience myself on more than one occasion. It can feel scary not knowing exactly where you are, especially when you don't see or hear other runners . However, there is almost always a sure-fire way to get back to civilization. The "safety bearing" can help you find a road or path to get back to the lodge. It has occurred to me that I have never been truly lost; I always had that safety bearing. I also was never truly alone, because there were people who knew where I had gone and who were awaiting my return. They even knew approximately how long I had been out in the woods. Those people weren't even that far away, really. Coming to this realization turned a scary experience completely on its head. It felt pretty good! Our club is made up of really great people. Volunteers organize and run all of our events, which is one of the reasons why orienteering is such a great bargain in the realm of sports and recreation. There are people who volunteer to create or update the highly detailed maps we all use. Other people volunteer to design multiple courses for an event, so everyone who shows up has an appropriate choice available to them.
