Running in the woods

By JOHN BRECKON

Picture yourself in Light-
house Park. Not on the main
trails but off on one of those
side paths which you had
often wondered where it led.
Now you know and with map
in hand you plan how to get
to the next check point.

This is the park you've
never before known. Your
path twists and turns, spaces
open and close around you,
but all as shown on the map.
You know where you arc,
and where you are going.

The map took hundreds of
hours of enthusiastic
dedicanhon to produce. It 1s
morc detailed than any other
of the area. It was drawn for
walkers, joggers and runners
by onenteers who walked
and jogged and ran over
every part of 1

Similar maps have been
made of many of the parks
and public) areas” through
winch you have passed un
suspecting Your
onenteenng club members
have produced a number of
such maps. as have other
clubs ino other parts of the
matolaod.,

the country and
indeed the world bach time
you attend an cvent you wall

You

Hiking boots ancakers

ftunning shoes and odd
assorted fowtware are the
order of the day There wall
be on number of different
courses ash for direc trons as
to whieh you wall probably
enjoy the most when you
register

Onee you are off Ga yor

chosen Course you  muaght

wonder where everyone cise

has gone Woods have

the

ability to swallow large
numbers of people. The idea
is to visit a number of
marked places on your map,
your ‘course,’ in order, and if
you are feeling compcettive,
as quickly as possible. Only
those on your course will be
secking the same ‘controls’
in the same order as you,
and even they will not start
at the same time as you did.
Everyone will be fully oc-
cupied going their own way
There will be hares and
tortoises. There are no ‘nght’
directions, but there will
always be many choices of
directions left

You will expenence in
creasing satisfacnon = with
each control you visit, and
frustration cach ume you fall
to see a control when you
expectto

At the finish you will be
amazed at how quickly or
how slowly others complcted
ther = courses You wall
remember how casily you
found the control everyone
cise obviously Chought
hidden how
scarched for

was
and you
the once which
no one cise scemed to have
had aay bother with finding
Ask about the nacat cvent

and think about yotning a
club and hetping stage an
event of map an arca

And save your map for
