Feb 16 was a cool, wet, and windy day at Little Bennett Regional Park but about 120 came out to orienteer in Montgomery County’s biggest park. There were ninety-nine starts on the yellow through blue courses. No one braved the white course. Louden NJROTC and Patriot NJROTC joined us and combined accounted for about a third of the starts. Seven boy scouts from Troop 457 also came out for some orienteering.
Big thanks to everyone who helped make this event happen.
Mihai Sirbu designed the courses, which were originally intended to be used in 2024 but the club had to cancel the event at Little Bennett that year due to weather conditions.
Paul Zbarcea, Greg Lennon, Sam Listwak, Don Fish, and Greg Parlady teamed up to hang all the controls.
Mike Newman secured a permit to hold the event, arranged for the porta-johns and the shuttle bus that ran from the remote parking at Pleasants Construction to the check-in site, a half mile away.
Craig Shelden made the arrangements with Pleasants Construction which enabled the club to use Pleasants parking lot. Thanks also to Pleasants Construction for letting us use their parking lot.
