Downtown Photo O

Organizer: Chris Ling (Event Director)

Thanks to the hardcore who turned out on a damp Sunday afternoon for this year's photo O. Great run be Ben Isitt who would have won anyway despite admitting to 'guessing' three of the controls.

Mea Culpa on control 9 which was NOT marked in the correct location - blame rain when the planner was taking photo obscuring the details of the map - which is admittedly a feeble excuse. Sorry to all those that lost time for that one.

Downtown Photo O. Using an OpenStreetMap of the Victoria Downtown area this 90min Score event will feature a clue sheet of photos depicting some feature visible at each control site marked on the map. Mass Start at 1pm. Clue sheets and pencils will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own just in case. The event boundaries are Simcoe Street to the south, the Inner Harbour and Montreal Street to the west, Bay Street to the north and Cook street to the east.
