An old map. The course is from March 1981. 2nd day of a 2 day event near Carbondale,IL.

Yes do it!

Was an early start this morning 6.30 in the woods an hour from home to start putting out controls in the dark. All worth it to see the many happy runners finishing later in the day (in the glorious sun) ranging in age from under 10s to over 80s. Some fast times too:

Morning hilly run on campus with an in-progress sprint orienteering map.

How to spend a Saturday night in : Night in Parc Angrignon - it was so much fun!

Drove 17k and back to mapping project. Really could have cycled on this fine day. Didn't think so in the morning, but it would have been no problem.

Yikes! You dont use plastic covers

Mine is in pretty good shape after 5 km in moderately wet conditions today.

The joy of fall in New England. How it started. How its going.

My best leg was to 1. My route From the triangle head back and then run the road. Fun terrain and course.

Saturdays

I am mildly excited that this week I have an ad in Swedish magazine Orienteraren. Let's see does it have ANY kind of effect on Swedish audience... Okay I am actually very excited

2. Now when tapping the button for showing control point interval, that part of the track is zoomed in and also highlighted for better viewing. Rest of the track fades away.

After a looong time next Control app update is near! I have rewritten the map view & bottom sheet with . Couple noteworthy changes:
1. "Speed line" on the left side of points to show more clearly your pace.

The usual long wait at this infamous hitching black hole. I was on my way back from the French Championships and those around me were at the Battle of the Beanfield.

I made a tiny thing: - a webapp to monitor Radio Online Controls for orienteering that is a bit more mobile friendly than the ROC website. I anticipate 1-5 users worldwide for this.

Code available for those who like that stuff:

Todays training course included seeing a non-Jayhawk roaming the campus.

Day 3. High altitude

Another day of high altitude

Better things to do on the links - dont hit the ball, be the ball

Parking is better value these days.

Spending a few minutes looking at maps

Newcastleton Forest. F Jolly and Heriot-Watt University Orienteering Club 1980. HWUOC liked Sitka plantations, they mapped Blairadam a year later - I would love to see that map.
Newcastleton has had some changes since - the yellow was planted with trees soon after the event and there is a trail centre there now.

A finish at the 2009 Six Days. I did not recover from an injury at the event and left the sport soon after.

The Senior team is having their training camp in this weekend. Stop by and say "Hi"

It's Week, so here is Culbin from the World Championships in 1976 and the first ever 6 Days.

The Tour de France today went along the edge of the 1987 WOC map.

I came up with a new marketing video and a new slogan for Control:
All your tracks.
From any event.
Always with you.

A new episode of this podcast:

It's been a busy season already, so Katherine and Will pick their highlights, including the JWOC results.

We also hear from World Bronze Medallist Alice Leake, after her decision to retire from the sport.

And with the forest World Championships just around the corner, we chat about the terrain and pick our favourites to take the medals.

Wasburn University sprint course from todays Sunflower State Games.

Terrain relevant for this years World Champs in Switzerland. Map is 40+ years old.

Tried some today, which went well.

It was the easiest type of route, though, so I didn't even need a compass and it was in the local area around buildings and roads, so I didn't need to search through the bush.

I've bought some more advanced maps in more difficult terrain, I'll see how that goes.

(This is the "take a trip" type of orienteering, not the "competition"-type)
