Course setter for Schuylkill valley August 8

Topic created by edscott on Thu Jul 8, 2010 at 3:06 pmThe Geists have volunteered to be event directors for the scheduled event but we need a course designer. This would involve planning the courses and getting that information to the event directors in time to get the maps ready for the event. The plan is to have a white, a sprint, and a score that all utilize the existing trail system. Since it is a small area and a relatively new map I would think it could be done with a few minutes of preplanning and a half day or less in the woods.

Having never designed a course, Larry & I need someone with experience for this task. I am very familiar with the trail system at SCEE, and would be happy to assist the course designer. I'd be happy to sit in, watch & learn. I can also go along and set up the controls on Saturday August 7. -

I'll happily hang all the flags on Saturday. As I said before, I'm very familiar with the SCEE trails and features.
