SUUNTO Orienteering Technical Course

Location: Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia

First time I know the information for this course, already make me feel interested to be a participants. I enrolled at the last minute and thanks to the organizer, because he was accepted me.

I rode my bikes to the course location took me around 6 hours journey plus a rest stops. This time really enjoyed the ride because I have never rode my bike beyond Rawang exit in Selangor. This time was my first ride in Perak.

The course really informative either you were first timer (without basic) or you already familiar with compass, map & trail running! This course conducted by Magnet Edge with collaboration with SNR Adventures, these companies were no stranger in organizing such orienteering races & rogaining races in Malaysia. They also a part of technical team for a few local adventure races.

The participants exposed to the technical knowledge & the instructor shared their experience in equipped the technical team pre, during and post orienteering race organized. The basic knowledge seems help most of us to mastered, because this course taught us to be orienteering race organizer.

As the final part of this course, all eight participants divided by two teams and need to set the orienteering course for each other at Gua Tempurung parameter. My team manage to set the 'real' orienteering course which need to walk-run for around 5km to completed the course.

The greatest part was, the participants & the instructors together swam the nearby river with strong current as a post course activity.

Later, I rode my bike headed down to my hometown JB..
