We conclude a week of orienteering fun with a set of Classic courses at our Little Pan event site. We're offering 3 different course lengths to keep participants entertained: Blue and Brown/Green for our more experienced orienteers, and Yellow/Orange with easier control locations for less experienced participants.

The Little Pan site is similar to Saturday's events at Sophie's Flat. The desert around Little Pan contains a medium amount of prickly vegetation. The terrain is rugged in spots, but most of the courses will avoid the steeper parts of the area. Like the Sophie's Flat map, the Little Pan map has been recently updated to include new contours and vegetation. The new map allows more precise navigation than older maps of the area.
