The first regular orienteering meet of 2012 by the Western Pennsylvania Orienteering Club is just a week away on April 15. It will be at Hartwood Acres; Dave Battista is meet director. Dave has designed some very interesting courses for you, including a 2.5 km white, a 3.2 km yellow, a 4.5 km bike orienteering course, and two scrambles (one about 4.8 km and the other about 7 km). In a scramble, some controls must be visited in sequence and some may be visited in any order - more details at the meet.

Registration and start are anytime from 11 am to 2 pm; cost is $5/map; if a group/family is doing a course together with one purchased map, cost for the entire group/family is still just $5. Compass are available on loan. Instruction for beginners available on site by volunteers; driving directions are given below. If you need more information, see www.wpoc.org
Come and try bike orienteering and/or try a course on foot.
