OY-3

Sunday 25 June 2017

Congratulations to everyone who came out today in the amazing weather to run over some pretty hilly terrain.  We hope everyone enjoyed their day in the hills and we only had to tow one car out of the Event HQ at the end!

Thanks to Marcus Diprose and Riki Cambridge for some challenging courses - we are sure the medium and long red runners loved the leg to the 2nd to last controls!  Thanks for all the helpers at the event and well done to Sophie Harrison first time chief organiser.

AGM Event

Sunday 19 February 2017

Thanks to Scott Smith (planner) and Nick Smith (controller) for setting a really interesting and challenging course on the very small part of Van Asch School we were able to use. For the map memory course people had to run to a central location then look at the map on the wall and memorise as many of the 4-5 controls on the loop they were doing, before setting off. After completing all 3 loops, competitors picked up a map to get them to the finish.

Some people had trouble trying to relate the map on the wall to the normal north/south alignment. The planner had also cunningly made 2 looks clockwise and 1 loop anti-clockwise!

Lots of fun.

Bottle Lake MTBO

Sunday 17 April 2016

We had a lovely sunny Autumn day out at Bottle Lake with quite a few new-comers giving MTBO a try for the first time. The courses were long (and, hopefully, exciting!) with some tricky navigational challenges. Thank you to everyone who helped with the event and to all those who came and gave it a go, especially if it was your first time.

CCC Orienteering Day - The Groynes

Sunday 28 February 2016

A fabulous day at the Groynes – well over 600 people enjoyed the sunshine.

Planner Graeme says he is surprised so many people found all of the controls and well done to you all. It was neat to see several students from the Tuesday night events come along and there were some interesting results within family teams.

PAPO hopes you keep coming along to Tuesday events and then think about the schools champs and our Sunday orienteering all over Canterbury. Check the website for upcoming events and entry fees.

The Hellers sausages were cooked to perfection by the Girl Guides (who also ran the course) and thanks to those who did CCC surveys while waiting for your sausages. The maps drawn by some finishers of your routes are interesting and we are going to put a couple of your maps up on the PAPO website later this week.

A huge thanks to the orienteering club members who helped before and during the event.

For the really competitive ones here's a list of points per minute for those who completed in under 1 hour. The 2 top place getters have both represented NZ in orienteering, so don't feel too bad when you see how fast they completed the course.
