Estabrook Woods
Concord, MA
November 3, 2012
Event Director: Magnus Bjorkman

It was a brisk and beautiful fall day out at Estabrook Woods with about a 100 people attending. The map needs some work (remapping in progress) so we tried to come up with a format that was forgiving but still provides some fun orienteering. We had a regular White (set by Linc) and Yellow, but then had three sprint courses with the first one at the Orange difficulty level. The course lengths were a little bit longer than you might expect, but with the woods being very runnable, especially with the leaves down, the courses became speedy and the winning times were in the low 20s.

There was some extra excitement as well with the woods shared with a simulated fox hunt with about 40-50 horses participating. Apart from making parking a little bit harder, some orienteers got some extra excitement as a whole group of horses came running towards them on the trails.

The meet was very easy to direct due to all the wonderful volunteers. Special thanks to Marcie and Linc Berkley who planned and co-directed the meet with me. Thank you to all the volunteers during the day of the meet, in no special order: Sarah Bjorkman, Ben Gallup, Pete Lane, Andy McIlvaine, Jim Paschetto, Raina Crawford, Tim Parson, Jim Crawford, Ed Despard, Aims Coney and Shaun Pimental (who both attended his first meet and volunteered at it).
