Orienteering in Denmark - Danish Spring 2024 - Middle

In this video you can follow me on a 4 km orienteering course in Store Dyrehave - an area that is on the Unesco World Heritage list.
Most of the course went fairly well - with one exception: At control #6 I was searching for a small hole, but misread which flat hill was the right one. That cost around 3 minutes.
The venue was "Danish Spring 2024" - a World Ranking Event which attracts runners from especially Denmark and Sweden, but there are also participants from a long list of countries.

Hello thanks for sharing the run and the info. I glanced at LiveLox, but did see any events recently in Denmark.

[@ErnstPoulsen]

You'll find tracks from most Danish events at www.o-track.dk. If you're looking for upcoming events they may be found at www.orienteringslob.dk. If you're visiting Denmark at at specific time, send me and e-mail and I'll point you in the direction of some events. ([e-mail])

What was the control feature for #2...depression...or rootstock? if it was depression...the course setter improperly hid the control behind something...that is not allowed...and generally controls should be between knee and waist high...or chest high for anything like white or yellow.

[@ErnstPoulsen]

Yes. Control #2 was in a small depression. There's a very small marking of "slow running" (undergrowth) in the depression, and in general Danish forests are getting more and more "fallen trees" as they're leaving them out to rot - to allow for more insects. And, you're right. The control was a little hidden behind the fallen log, but I wasn't in doubt, so didn't loose time on that one. In general Store Dyrehave is a fairly open forrest at this time of year. Finding controls in August is always much more tricky.
