REGISTRATION:
!Khwa ttu, R27 West Coast Rd, Yzerfontein (https://goo.gl/maps/KnUxZ766LzRjzTHG9)
TERRAIN:
!Khwa ttu is open sandy grassland. The visibility is excellent and the running fairly fast. There are two large koppies with some rock and contour detail, but the rest of the area is relatively flat and open. There are a number of wild animals (Zebra and buck) in the reserve, and the vegetation can put on an impressive flower show if the weather conditions are right.
COURSES:
90 or 60 minute scoring event
In contrast to regular orienteering where you navigate your way along a set course, following a specific route, a scoring event requires you to visit as many controls as you can within a set time limit. You plan your own route to get to whichever checkpoints you want. Each control is worth points, with the most difficult to reach, worth the most points. If a control is close to the start and is easily accessible then it will be worth fewer points. If it’s a considerable distance away it will be worth a lot more. It is important to get back before your time limit expires as there are hefty point penalties for being late. This is why navigation, route planning and strategy are so important in this format of the sport.
The great thing is that you make it as easy or as hard as you like. Stick to an easy route on the paths, or cut across the open veld and challenge your navigational skills!
