ED/CS Notes:
Online registration is now open for the White Clay Creek event in Delaware on November 20, 2022. TheVeteran course setter Ron Wood designed the intermediate and advanced courses, and I tried my hand at the White and Yellow courses Ron also provided me with invaluable course setting guidance based on his years of experience: "Ron, what do you mean I can't put a control in the middle of the creek? It is readily visible and barely waist deep!"Speaking of White Clay Creek itself, the green and red courses cross the creek to the east side of the park by two bridges. Please cross the creek only at the bridges; do not attempt to cross anywhere else.
We have field checked the park, and trails for likely route selections should be open. There are some other trails that may no longer exist or which may overgrown with vegetation blocking entrances or exits. We tried to avoid those trails.
Some trails may be difficult to see due to leaf litter. In particular, there is one trail that is useful on the White course whose intersection with a main trail may be difficult to spot. That intersection should be marked with streamers.
WCC is known for being "green," and some areas on the intermediate and advanced courses may be "greener" than they appear on the map. We have tried to avoid sending people through nasty green stuff. However, this is WCC, so please be careful.
There will be no water on the courses. I am keeping my fingers crossed about the weather. As I am typing this (Monday), the forecast is for cool but sunny weather.
WCC is a Delaware State Park, so there is an entrance fee at the front gate. There was not much we could do about that. WCC is an excellent venue for orienteering, so we hope you find it worth it. And, of course, we hope you enjoy the courses.
