One of our club members , Llew McGivern, has created some no contact orienteering courses in Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga, which will be set up for tomorrow and Sunday (2/3 May).
Location: Lady Marie Drive, Pakuranga. Parking is available in the carparks between the hockey club and Rugby club off Lady Marie Drive.
Start/ finish location: is at the trees opposite the carpark next to the children’s playground in front of the Rugby club.
Please note that courses cross Park roads that may have traffic. Please be alert, and conscious – GIVE WAY to cars and vehicles. The idea here is to have an orienteering run in the safe environment of a local park during lockdown.
There is no manned start or finish. Start and finish at what ever time is convenient. You will need to time yourself. Should any control be missing, please feedback, as they are on public property. The controls are 5cm x 5cm printed Orienteering flags. The controls are only markers so there is nothing to touch or any symbol to write down.
Please feel free to let others know how you went, and what your time is – a bit of fun and running in the park!
Members of the club in the Howick area, the McKinnon family, have not been idle during the lockdown. They have done a sterling job creating several orienteering courses in the Half Moon Bay area for people to enjoy. A Facebook group has been formed “HMB O-courses” where maps and info about the courses can be found. Click here. While this is a closed group you are all welcome to join it.

It is with regret that CMOC are informing you that due to
the current situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, the NISS Orienteering
championship will be postponed until further notice. The championships were
scheduled to be held on the 22nd-24th of April 2020 and the running of the
event will now require consideration later in the year.
This decision has not been made lightly and it is on the
advice of the Ministry of Health in relation to their comprehensive COVID-19
direction, New Zealand School Sport decision and ONZ. Whilst disappointing for those involved, CMOC
is committed to protecting the health & safety of our members, event
attendees and volunteers and this has guided the decision-making .
We will be in contact with schools that have entered to
date to offer a full refund and apologise for the inconvenience and the
processing time that may take. If you
have any concerns please contact Unni Lewis on email [email protected]
CMOC are committed to this event and will look to
rescheduling and re-evaluating the event later in the year. However, as most people will be aware, nothing
is certain at this stage.
We will keep you informed as further developments unfold
during this changing environment.”
