MTBO night training, McLeans Island (organised by PAPO)

 Date: Sunday 16^th May

Start Times: Registration will be from 5.45 pm with riders or groups starting at 1 minute intervals. Course closure is 7.30 pm. Basic instruction will be available for those new to orienteering.

 You will be looking for small reflective controls marked with a single-letter code. A pencil may be needed to record the codes.

The course will generally follow the MTB single track (without Coringa loop) with a few small deviations. Map is similar to that used for the MTBO short course on 10^th March. Fastest riders can expect to complete the course in less than 40 minutes.

What to bring: Mountainbike, helmet with a good night light. $2 for a map. A map board or some means of carrying your map is very useful. A small backup torch is worth having if your main light fails and a compass will help you keep track of where you are on the map.

Directions: Registration, start and finish will be at the main Forest Park picnic area off McLeans Island Road opposite Orana Park.  We may have to park outside the gate.

Special Note: PLEASE advise Graeme Read (gr.read@gmail.com) by 11^th May if you are planning to take part so we can prepare the correct number of maps. Graeme is also available for any queries, ph 3522582.
