Paerata map with the Whangarei Orienteering Club

This map was used for the first time last year for the Middle course of the Auckland Orienteering Champs in October. It is a great addition the areas we are able to use,as a few of our forest maps have become quite overgrown and difficult to set courses in. The area is entirely forested.It is undulating to mod steep terrain, but the runnablity is generally good.

How to get there- Travel west on State Highway 14 to Dargeville.Travel through Tangeteroria and over a bridge,THEN TURN IMMED RIGHT in Paerata rd ( approx 30km from SH1).
The parking and registration is about 1 km from the bridge. Please park on the L hand side of the road.
