A legend


I found this in a Swedish blog. I guess it's an orienteering legend made by a Hong Kong Orienteer in1980s. Here is the original text from that blog:

På en orienteringskarta som är utgiven av Hong Kong Orienteering Club någon gång i början av 1980-talet, hittade jag denna intressanta teckenförklaring. Renritaren av kartan har gjort allt för att alla skulle förstå kartans innehåll. Klicka på teckenförklaringen så visas den större.

The pictures are great and useful, especially for those orienteering beginners. I appreciate that a lot!

Good news: a nice map renewed

My friends ran the MSF Orienteering Competitions in Ngong Ping today. I didn't have any orienteering there before but I've seen the previous maps. I suppose that the map using today would be in 1:10000, just like the previous one. Surprisingly, it's a 1:5000 sprint map! And there is some nice "white forest", which is very rare in HK.
I'm sure this map could give me some fun after the exams. Longing for that day!

p.s. Maybe the Y2Y sprint series can be held there?

Another blog

this new blog is for my orienteering stuffs and maybe sometimes other sports...
i don't think this is a good time to start it, since now i'm struggling with the AL exams. and it's nearly no orienteering for me these months. but i just like to do things at the wrong timing.
