Cesky Raj Rocks!





Clare, Peter, and Sharon have arrived early and competed today in the PreO day of the Pre-WTOC Orienteering Adventure. The terrain is full of sandstone cliffs and most of the problems involved figuring out which rock each control was on. Clare had the best score of the day with 23 out of 27 correct. This placed her 75th out of 117 participants in the Open Elite class. You can see the map and all of the results on the PreO results page.

After the competition, they took a trip to the Czech Natural Reserve Prachovske Skaly (Prachov Rocks) and enjoyed an afternoon of hiking through immense boulders with narrow passageways and steep rocky staircases. Although the competition area isn't so dramatic, similar rock formations underlie the large cliffs and boulders in the mapped area.

Tomorrow - TempO at the Pre-WTOC
