Trekking (Orienteering) 1:09:00 [3] 4.07 mi (16:57 / mi)
shoes: Speed Cross
An ambitious local fellow put together an O course at Mt Malden (he got the topo info from the conservation authority, as it is an old landfill, so the usual topo map doesn't represent what is there now). He recognized me from one of the STARS events a year ago in KW, and had done SMOC's night corn maze this year.
20 controls, manual punches.
It covered the whole park, from the low wooded area to the top of the biggest hill. I worked through them in basically 4 groups. I got 3/4 done then realized I had missed a control about as far away from where I was standing as you could get. D'oh!
Miscanthus grass is a pain to navigate through (or find distinguishing features within).
I don't know how many people attended......he had posted it on the local trail running FB page and wasn't expecting very many. I saw 3 others out there while I was on course. I gave him a small handout with the SMOC website and the 3 upcoming events in December......shameless plug for Orienteering that is close to Windsor.
