[RC] Mounted Orienteering help? - Gloria Adams

Hi All,

I am interested in this, did a search on ridecamp old archives, lots of posts, but none to help a newbie actually MAKE a course.

 

I went to the NACMO webpage http://www.nacmo.org/ , but no sort of “cookbook” info on exactly how to make a course. I would have to do this on my own basically as I do not have people here who are motivated to help set up a course (of course they would all love to ride it, however, so getting participants isn’t hard).

I would also have to have a short session on map reading & how to use a compass.

Anyway, anyone ever set this up? Could you help send me some links or whatnot? I wrote to the NACMO people a couple of years ago, but they did not help (they have nothing to send re: sample maps with the original instructions).

A sample map (with the original instructions & clues) would be great! I could sit down & go over the map, point the compass, & do a dry run, so to speak.

 

Thanks!

 

Gloria
