Wednesday Night Information
Course Notes:
- Trails and contours are as always very accurate on Nose Hill. Large vegetation is also accurate, but smaller bushes, etc. should not be used as a primary navigation tool.
- Control descriptions do not fit on the Advanced course map--separate control descriptions will be made available at check-in.
- Leg covering is recommended for the Intermediate and Advanced courses :)
- Have fun!
