More detail on how the Night-O will work? What is a zombie in this context and what do they do?

Yes- reading the schedule- I can't tell if you are just encouraging people to wear a costume or there is a special format ("Zombie maps").  Definately sounds fun, but it is good to be a little more clear.

Also, is the day time event at Willows starts 10-1?  How long time-wise is the score-o and what is the difficulty level?

Looks to be a great weekend for orienteering!

Greetings. 

 

So a Zombie is not just someone who is low on caffeine, one must dress the part...  AKA  costume ;).

 

Courses: 

Beginner is a score with 15 points.  One hour time limit....so we can get all the little zombies back.

Intermediate/Orange.  Pin Punch, regular course (taking the controls in order) 3.125 km, 70 m climb, 10 controls.

Advanced:  epunch (we are utilizing the teaching controls), 4.2 km, 100 m climb, 10 controls.

 

Please make sure you have a dependable flash light and watch. 

 

All dogs must be on a short leash so they don't get spooked by the Zombies...

 

Remember, there are some snacks in the barn too. 

 

See you ghouls there....
