After the huge positive feedback from the premiere one year ago, we will offer a Trail Orienteering (precision orienteering) competition also during this year's Bavarian Forest 5 Days: on Sunday 7th July in the morning our fellow orienteering friends of OLV Landshut will organize a competition in PreO discipline.
Hereby several orienteering tasks have to be solved by viewing from the track. At every control between one and five control flags are placed in the terrain. It has to be determined by precise map reading which control flag corresponds with the control circle marked on the map - or if none of the control flags is placed on the correct spot. The solving time is not too important - there is only a maximum time for the whole course - but reading the map accurately is the key to avoid mistakes and ideally solve all tasks correctly.
The TrailO will take place on the day of the 2nd stage in a small part of the terrain for the stages 3 to 5 around the Almberg in Mitterfirmiansreut with its numerous boulders and small cliffs. For the BF5Days participants the TrailO is an ideal opportunity to try out the technically most challenging orienteering discipline, before the sprint orienteering stage will take place in the afternoon in the streets and alleys of Waldkirchen.
