Sprint Distance Championships, Saturday 16 May
The Sprint Distance will be staged at the Bruce Campus of the
Canberra Institute of Technology, Haydon Drive, Bruce, about 8 kms
west of the GPO Canberra. It is a new venue for Sprint Distance
Orienteering, but the area is on the Belconnen Bushlands 1:15000 map
and the Bruce Ridge 1:10000 map, although few controls were ever
placed in the area. The competition area will be mainly the Bruce
campus of CIT, which is predominantly buildings, pathways, roads, car
parks and associated vegetation, with some controls south of the
campus in eucalyptus forest. The new map at 1:5000 will be produced by
Grant Bluett.
The National League competitors will start at one minute intervals
from 9.00 am. The Junior League competitors will start first and the
Senior League competitors will start after the last Junior competitor.
All other age classes will begin starting at one minute intervals two
minutes after the last National League competitor.
Middle Distance Championships, Saturday 16 May
The Middle Distance Championships will be staged at Wild Deer
Sands, Kings Highway, about 50 kms east of Canberra (and about 60 kms
from Bruce CIT. The area has been used once, on 2008 QBIII Day 1; thus
a blank map will be on display on the day. It is an area between two
regularly used areas, The Sandhills and Timber Tops. It had not been
used for decades, as it had been used for sandmining. Photos of the
area.
The National League competitors will start at two minute intervals
from 1.30 pm. All other age classes will begin starting at two minute
intervals two minutes from 2.00 pm.
Long Distance Championships, Sunday 17 May
The Middle Distance Championships will be staged at Gearys Gap,
Federal Highway, about 50 kms north of Canberra. The area, which has
never been used for orienteering, is relatively fast spur-gully
terrain with steeper areas in the west. There are many termite mounds
and areas of small rock. Photos of the
area.
The first start for all competitors will be 10.00 am.
