Adventure Racing Navigation Clinic

Another AR clinic, this time focusing on map reading and navigation. I signed up for this because the first time I saw an AR map as opposed to an Orienteering map, I flipped out. The north lines were pointing the wrong way, the colours were just plain green with some blue splotches, the contour intervals were bizarre, and these people seem to use freaky-looking mirrored compasses! As a lifetime dedicated map-user, I needed to find out what was what with this sport.

It was once again hosted by Running Free and presented by Bob Miller, race director for, among others, the Wilderness Traverse.

more details soon...
