We're late in promoting this as the event is only next weekend, but hopefully there is still time for some adventurous runners and those into orienteering to come out and enjoy the long orienteering course we have set.
Details are online at
http://www.UntamedAdventure.com/Switzerland (March is our 1-day event south of Zurich; in April is our 3-day Alpine Stage race for the real endurance nuts).
The March 7 course starts and ends from the Spiffing Ales brewery in Uetikon (Alte Kleindorfstrasse 65, 8707 Uetikon ZH -- about 10 mins from the Uetikon banhoff), and we suggest you down your sample beers
after your go at the course; but it is your choice.
You have lots of choices, in fact:
- You select your routes and navigate to as many checkpoints as you can in the 5 hour timeframe -- we provide the maps (a couple orienteering maps and supplemental topographic maps)
- You may return to the brewery early
- You may encounter snow and ice up on the Pfannenstiel ridge
- You may get lost -- when in doubt, panic azimuth is due south as you'll hit the Zurichsee eventually!
Come out for a fun day in the woods! All instructions, as the beers, will be in English!
