Auckland Rogaine Series - The Fox Hunt

david@thefoxhunt.co.nz Posted: 6 June 2006, 2:02 AM   Morning all. Just to let you know, I'm helping organise a city rogaine around Auckland. www.thefoxhunt.co.nz Check it out. David   Martin Posted: 2 July 2006, 4:04 AM   an 'interesting' turnout. 21 competitors in 8 teams... Something didn't work out.   James Posted: 2 July 2006, 1:42 PM   I believe it was the overpriced entry fee something like $60 to run around the streets of auckland, with no major prizes.............i contemplated it because it was close to home, but the entry fee put me off! especially when we get a smaller scale version through the summer series for a few dollars. Or in wellington, they do 3hr rogaines for about $3, maybe its $5?? either way, heaps cheaper   superOman Posted: 2 July 2006, 3:07 PM   Its all about promotion plus presentation The city safari in wellington attracted 250+ people but then the map was an orienteering map of the whole city - not a streetmap copied. No major prizes advertised but the were wine and vouchers etc given to the winners. Sponsored travel passes bibs etc from local bodies I would agree $60 too much for your event   Michael Posted: 4 August 2006, 8:17 AM   Very comprehensive written briefing includes this little gem: • Anyone lost must return to HQ   Michael Posted: 8 August 2006, 2:47 AM   The third Fox Hunt on Sunday used an orienteering map of the domain as well as the street map. A nifty solution to the problem of lack of detail and even accuracy on maps that cover a large area - brings to mind military orienteering contests where you might be called on to use a topo, o-map, photo, sketch, etc. And the nordic micr-O involved a scale-change within the event.
