Spion Kop West (AID) Kelowna
October 7th 2024 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Organizer: Simon Bakker (Event Director)
Map: Spion Kop
Overview:
Welcome to our fall Kelowna training series: Advanced &
Intermediate Development (AID). These low-key orienteering training
sessions will happen every Monday evening at 6:00 at a different map
with a different training focus. Can't make the event time? We need
somebody to pick up control flags sometime later in the week - get
in touch with David if you want this to be you. Last year we actually
had several different groups doing these as self-directed events later
in the week, so that can be an option as well if you can make the
scheduled time.
Meeting Location:
Spion Kop's Raven Ridge trailhead - see map pin at bottom of page.
Registration:
We will not have online registration for this activity and will print maps based on the numbers who came out to the previous Kelowna AID activity. We will print plenty of extra maps and have them available on-site, so if you are coming out for the first time please feel free to meet us on-site. If your new group is larger (e.g. 3+ people), please email us to let us know, in case we need to adjust the number of printed maps.
This activity is free to all members of Sage Orienteering
Club. All participants MUST have their Sage Orienteering Club
membership.
Who this is for:
Unfortunately, this is
not for complete beginners, but if you have been out orienteering a few
times this should be ok. This is for for intermediates looking to get more time on maps
and become more comfortable in the forest, or those who are either
experienced orienteers wanting to get more training in. This low key
training series has no timing, but should be an enjoyable set of
orienteering at beautiful places around Kelowna.
Cost:
- Sage Orienteering Club membership is required.
- No fixed cost.
- The club incurs about ~$3 in expenses per participant per week. We encourage you to donate at some weeknight to help cover the insurance and printing costs. Donations can be made either by Interac E-Transfer or cash.
