Setting out controls as day breaks over the snowy fields
Planning the route from the get-go...
off we go
Yes... hello Jason!!! (wannabe-STAGer-er)
yup i'm sure this is the right way... i planned it before don't you know!
we're off!!!
you can catch her... go on!
Smile for the camera.... "eh??? what??? where???"
My kind of orienteers... start with good intentions and then get distracted by the snowmen! For me it was the heelan' coos before the controls were even out!!!
STAGer off...
Chasing each other from the very start!
Woodpecker...? Kingfisher...? Answers on a postcard please.
Control Flow 101... don't pose for the camera lady!
Control Flow 102... run away quickly
How to do... control flow. Approach...
bend the knees... (only if you are above punch height) ready the dibber...
PUNCH!
Having looked quickly at the map, head off in the general direction of the next control
The planner takes a run at it!
Spot the orienteer!
The Planner tries to find her way out of the rhodedendron bush she has cleverly led the photographer into...
left foot... right foot... left foot...
Phew!
Ah don't get away from the camera that easily Scott!
Of course the route choices are discussed at the end... never mind the snow & freezing temperatures...
Still in front of her brother... that's the way we do it!
STAGering back to the van!
Are you sure you can see where you're going ninja orienteer?

Thanks to everyone who came along and enjoyed the day! See you at the next one... I'm the one behind the camera!!
