Ahern S.P., Laconia, NH – Oct. 12,2024

We had a fun day orienteering at Ahern.

Thanks to Jim Arsenault for designing courses, to Ben Arsenault for hanging advanced control on Friday, and to Matt & Nicole Arsenault for hanging the remaining controls on Saturday.

Thanks to Ernst Linder and Matt & Nicole Arsenault for helping to conduct the event.

And thanks to Ben Arsenault, Nicole Aresenault, and Ernst Linder for help collecting controls after the event.

Six courses were available. In addition to White (beginner), Yellow (advanced beginner), and Orange (intermediate), there were three Motala (expert) courses. Participants were invited to combine multiple courses (specifically the Motala courses) to create a total length of their choosing.
