The New England Orienteering Club

Hammond Pond
Newton, MA
March 17, 2013
Event Director: Ian Smith
Course Setter: Anna Shafer-Skelton

The weather was great at Hammond Pond! About 100 people attended, many of them for the first time. There were 4 courses: White, Yellow, Orange, and Green. Orange and Green went north of the road and criss-crossed the map, and White and Yellow used the trail network closer to the pond. There was lots of visibility, and the woods were pretty runnable.

The one mishap of the day was when Magnus fell and dislocated his shoulder. Luckily, Trisha Underwood found him and ran back to get help, and he was safely driven to the hospital. Ian reported that he was doing much better later in the day.

Thank you to all the fantastic volunteers! I counted eight different people involved in control hanging and pickup, including Giacomo Barbone, who came to the meet just to help pick up controls.


Found:

  • reading glasses with black metal frames
  • Foster Grant sunglasses, black plastic frames with red pads

Lost: compass with magnifier
