Race on the new map at Green Timbers in Surrey. Fantastic map made by Lehel. The first part of the course was in a bushy field with tall grass. Sections of deciduous forest with quite low visibility and runnability made for some very challenging fine navigation. Perfect map, perfect course, just like running in Denmark. Some longer running legs later in the course to make it long enough. Had a lot of fun on this map.

Two really great orienteering events back to back this weekend in Vancouver.

Orienteering at the top of Squamish Chief! Magnus had made a 1:2500 map. Very tricky orienteering, had to focus the whole time. Had a good run with only 30sec mistake on #3. A very good map made it nice to navigate along. Terrain is smooth rock with a few trees, just like Scanditoba, except steeper, and more big cliffs. Definitely some of the crazies orienteering I have seen!
We ran on top of the big cliff on the left (6-700meters elevation):
