Event descriptionThe North ATLantic Orienteering Championships (NATLOC) is held in Faroe Islands this year. The event takes place in the capital Torshavn, where Orienteering is just starting as a result of the NATLOC project (together with Greenland and Iceland). There will be 4 days of orienteering: 6 august is a warm-up event (middle distance), on a new map in Hoydalar. 7 august is a rest-day, where a birds- and cliff-watching trip to Vestmanna is offered. 8 august is a SPRINT race in Tórshavn. 9 august is a rogaining event in the Island of Nolsoy. 10 august is a longdistance race at 'Rossagøta' right next to hotel Føroyar.
Terrain description6 august - Hoydalar: grassy hills with a tiny bit of forest, and a little residential area. 8 august - Torshavn: SPRINT map, where the old town offers exceptionally complex sprint orienteering. 9 august - Nólsoy: an easy but nice terrain that offers spledid views. 10 august - Rossagøta: An excellent hilly orienteeringterrain. Though there are no trees here, This terrain has good variation and some quite technical areas.
