And back, too. Did they say how far it is?
I need to do more of that. By which I mean, I need to watch more videos like that, to help with my Swedish. I think I was able to understand about 10% of what they were saying, which is pretty good! (But if they said how far it was, I didn't catch that.)
Wow that was fun to watch and makes me want to be there too!
At about 9:45, they mention it is 4.6 km.
Did you catch the reference to Samantha a little after 11:00?
I can't imagine organizing something on the scale of O-Ringen. Their banter about the logistics of moving 5 O-Ringens in a row back one year was fascinating to the event organizer in me. (I understood zero percent of the Swedish but thank you for the English subtitles.)
Yes, everyone should feel bad for us :) On the scale of pandemic problems this is small, but it’s many, many hours of work that won’t be used for anything. Everything was completely finished, and ready to be printed. Maybe we can publish the course for the summer for club members just to train on, but there is very little parking there, so it’s hard to hold a formal training. And the map will change so much in the fall that the courses won’t be much good anymore.
I wondered what they were alluding to. What's taking place where you set courses--logging maybe? Whatever it is, as a long long time member of the Universal Community of Course Setters I do indeed feel bad for you. Over the summer of 1993, as we were preparing for WOC '93 in October, there was quite a severe drought in New York and surrounding areas, and the authorities were imposing more and more severe restrictions as the summer went on, including totally prohibiting access to increasing areas of forest. We were scared to death that we would be prohibited from holding the WOC if the dry weather continued, which would have been a disaster for us organizers personally, for teams around the world, and for orienteering in this country. But at the end of the summer the drought broke and everything turned out fine.
I will respond, as Sam is no doubt busy with S&E. Yes, logging is, or is scheduled to occur. Even last summer there were some routes which were "enhanced" with a new logging trail after the courses were designed. The venue was the one day which was furthest from town, so buses and parking for cars would have been neccessary. With the move to Lunsen, the day (3) is a bit closer. Still may need buses as Lunsen is really large and getting to the far reaches is a ways out.
