Event: 2016 US Two-Day Classic Championships and Sprint Relay
 

I meet 6 family members at the meet at Ward Pond. None of them had ever done any Orienteering. I did not realize they would break us up into smaller groups. So there ended up being 3 groups. I went last so I could find anybody in our group that was lost. I found another of our groups right away. The other group was lost & did not know it. I talked them thru out the course spending about 15 minutes on the phone with them. Spent a lot of time showing those with me the ropes. About 3 of the 6 could do a Yellow course without help after this experience. It will be interesting to see if any of them every do a course again.

The Ward Pond meet had a long walk to the start and back again after the finish. Great weather for the Saturday event.

Saturday - Yellow Rec - Splits
