Orienteering - the plan
for ICCC
Just after midday lunch on Monday July
23, all camp participants will be transported to a location in the
country where each contingent will be required to establish a group
Harbour for a 24 hour period. Cadets will pitch tents, establish
sanitation facilities, make arrangements for meal preparation and
for security of their own harbours.
Each team will be assessed on the
efficiency and planning that goes into these arrangements.
At the commencement of the exercise,
each team leader will be provided with an identical
detailed map of the area.
 |
Each map will be marked with twelve
(12) points within 1.5 km of the base camp. |
|
Each point on the Map will have a
'score' assigned to it. |
|
The objective is simple;
Visit as many of the points
identified on the Map as possible in a three hour period. |
|
During the
afternoon and night, teams should use their leadership
and map reading skills to decide on team dress, supplies,
and on the best route to follow, in order to accumulate
the maximum points score. |
At first light on
Tuesday July 24, (04.30 hrs) teams will depart camp in 10 minute
intervals in the order drawn by the team captain at the briefing.
|
Teams may range in
size from a minimum of three (3) cadets to a maximum of fifteen
(15) |
|
Each team will
carry a two way radio a score sheet, and a field map. |
|
Teams may decide on
the dress for the exercise- between Field wear, Hiking Gear or
Sports wear, however each team member must be similarly dressed. |
|
Teams may decide on
the supplies that they will carry, however EACH cadet MUST leave
base camp with at least one 1-Litre water bottle filled with
water. |
|
Teams may walk, run
or crawl, however no mechanized form of transport may be used. |
|
Teams MUST STAY
TOGETHER unless otherwise specifically instructed by Control via

|
At each checkpoint,
an official will be stationed. That official will record the

The team score sheet will also be stamped by the official. |
