  • BLAZING YOUR TRAIL Grades 5-12 2 Hours
    BLAZING YOUR TRAIL Grades 5-12 2 Hours Thank you for booking our “Blazing Your Trail” program at Fort Whyte Alive. This program is designed to help your students learn the skills necessary to conduct basic land navigation, such that they feel comfortable in an outdoor school, work, or recreational setting. One of the most significant barriers to people feeling comfortable in nature is the fear of getting lost. This program will teach skills to help students feel confident in nature. Appropriate Dress for Your Field Trip To ensure that students get the most out of their FortWhyte experience, we ask that they be appropriately dressed for a 2-hour outdoor excursion. All of our programs include time outdoors, regardless of weather. Comfort and safety are key in making this an enjoyable and memorable experience. PLEASE NOTE: We STRONGLY encourage students to come to this program with a watch, or some other way of telling the correct time. Please try to see that your group is equipped! Suggestions for Outdoor Dress Layering of clothing is very important in maintaining body temperature and in remaining dry. Four thin garments may offer the same degree of warmth as one thick overcoat, but the four layers allow much greater flexibility. Layers can be shed or added as temperature, wind, exertion, or other variables dictate. Waterproof outer layers are also important. Rain may get us wet but so will dew on grass, melting snow on pants and puddles in the spring. Boots in the winter are always important to keep moisture out and heat in.

  • An Introduction to Trail Orienteering for Organisers, Planners and Participants
    IntrO Paralympic class and Open class competitors at WTOC 2013 in France An introduction to trail orienteering for organisers, planners and participants. Sept 2013 1. Introduction This manual is for organisers, planners and participants unfamiliar with trail orienteering or wishing to refresh their understanding of it. It deals with IntrO, which is the name given to a simplified introductory form of trail orienteering. Those reading this manual are almost certainly familiar with orienteering, as generally practised, and may have some idea about trail orienteering. But there can be misconceptions, so the essential elements of the discipline are re-stated here. Trail orienteering is a world sport FootO MTBO SkiO TrailO TrailO is one of the four disciplines of orienteering, governed by the International Orienteering Federation, based in Helsinki, Finland. All four disciples have annual world championships. TrailO is not yet as widespread as FootO but extends from the USA to Japan (via Europe). Trail orienteering is a sport for all Do not misinterpret the official trailO logo. Although the discipline was specially designed as a non-athletic, intellectual version of orienteering, in order that those in wheelchairs and others with mobility difficulties can take full part in competition, so can the able-bodied. TrailO events are always open to all without regard to age, gender or mobility impairment, but may also have a closed ‘Paralympic’ class, usually on the same course. The popularity of trailO is such that the majority of participants are able-bodied including world champion foot orienteers. It is particularly attractive to those orienteers who, for whatever reason, find foot orienteering becoming too physical but wish to continue participating in orienteering.

Seven mountain runners participated in this study. They competed in vertical (VR), 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km races. The HR response was measured during the races to calculate the exercise intensity and PL according to the HR at which both the ventilatory (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) occurred. The exercise intensity below VT and between VT and RCT increased with mountain running race distance. Likewise, the percentage of racing time spent above RCT decreased when race duration increased. However, the time spent above RCT was similar between races (~50 min). The PL was significantly higher (p<.05) during the longest races (145.0±18.4, 288.8±72.5, 467.3±109.9 and 820.8±147.0 AU in VR, 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km, respectively). The ratio of PL to accumulative altitude gain was similar in all races (~0.16 AU·m-1).

  • Orienteering at Brighton Woods
    ORIENTEERING AT BRIGHTON WOODS • There are eight numbered posts (controls) for the orienteering course at Brighton Woods. Each has a number that corresponds to the number on the Brighton Woods Orienteering Map, but they may be found in any order. • It is easier to go directly from control to control when there is less ground cover: late fall, winter, and early spring. Long pants are recommended because of the poison ivy and ticks. 1. NUMBERED CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS 1. Sports Field 2. Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing 3. Amphitheater 4. The Bridge 5. Head of Trail 6. Rock Outcropping 7. River 8. Northeast End of Pipeline Clearing 2. PLOTTING THE COURSE • Find control #1 on the map.(The Sports Field.) • On the map, line up one edge of the compass from where you are (Control #1: Sports Field) to where you want to go, (Control # 2: Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing) making sure the direction-of-travel arrow faces your destination point. (This is the first secret of orienteering.) • Rotate the housing of the compassso that the gridlines are parallel to the North - South gridlines on the orienteering map. The cardinal point N must be at the North side of your map. (This is the second secret to orienteering.) • Readyour bearing in degrees at the Bearing Index. (At the Direction-of- Travel line, or the "Read Bearing Here" mark.) The number of degrees is * • Do not rotate the housing again until you need a new bearing! 3. FINDING THE FIXED CONTROLS • Stand directly in front of the control #1 and hold your compass level and squarely in front of your body.

  • 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.

  • Preparing the Event
    Chicago Area Orienteering Club Instructions on the Installation and Use of Sport Software for Orienteering Introduction This guide is for the use of members of the Chicago Area Orienteering Club (CAOC) and is not intended to replace or supersede any instructions from the owners of SPORTident, Sport Software or Brother. Should this guide be used by non-CAOC members they should be aware that much of the content has been derived from the methodology of “trial and error.” The CAOC E-Punch system is made up of components from several different vendors of software and hardware. The names to become familiar with are: • SPORTident – is the manufacturer of the physical equipment used by many orienteering clubs in North America and their web address is www.sportident.com. • Sport Software – is the leading manufacturer of software programs that manage the data being collected by SPORTident. Their web site at www.sportsoftware.de/eng/home.html is the source for almost all software used to run the e-punch system. Learning to use the Sport Software applications is the key to running the e-punch system and is the focus of this guide. Other related vendors are: • Brother – CAOC bought a Brother label printer to put the finishing touches to events by producing results on an adhesive label that can be attached to an individuals race map. The label layout is controlled through a Sport Software application and can be one of the harder parts of the system to learn. Many other report types are available for printing on regular paper but switching between printers during an event is not recommended.
