Topic created by Sandy on Thu Jul 5, 2018 at 9:35 amCourse statistics have been entered for the event on Wednesday, July 11 at Norristown State Hospital. Come join us and orienteeri on this iconic map as your courses twist and turn around the complex builidings and across wide open lawns.Although not officially starting until 6pm, I should be ready to go by 5:30 or even a bit earlier.Remember, there are no restroom facilities open to us so plan accordingly. A quick Google search shows a number of gas stations/convenience stores - that should have public restrooms - nearby.

Reply by kathyu on Thu Jul 5, 2018 at 11:07 amThis is a favorite place of mine for orienteering. Just remember there are a few buildings in use but clearly fenced and also out of bounds. The hospital folks have requested no photos on the grounds this year. If you see any of our group taking pictures, just remind them. We want to continue to be welcome at this wonderful place. This applies only to the hospital grounds, not to the adjacent Norristown Farm Park.
