Thats the plan - a lot to organise (and need to get much fitter :) )

Yeah it was pretty random in only that small area - I was only about 50m from the beach as well

Thank you 🤗

re-watch it :) Just added some .. hope you like my taste

​@@gmilne13I think it's much better this way. :) Thanks. I like your videos but it's a bit weird without music or sound.

@petter444petter - I did (I realised afterwards) - the two road crossings were untimed, marked and had marshalls, but by the time I ran (and the students had all finished), they had packed up and left that area.

I think thats a GPS error - it was a bit of a mission to get the track and the map aligned properly - we always get pretty poor reception in the forest. I think I must have been slightly North of the position indicated.

Gracias - I always planned to put a narration on these videos to make them more educational - just need to do it ;)

@thog1234 Thanks for the positive comments :) This was an orange course (I normally run harder red courses) so I think it used the easier parts of the map. This type of forest is very similar to the ones up here in Auckland so I have a fair bit of experience on these. I thought the features on this map were really clear and easy to see, which helped. I intentionally ran on the tracks as much as possible because thats what Im fastest on - from the tracks I just picked the most obvious attack points... and of course, there was a bit of luck involved as well ;)

@MPOrienteering - at around 48:48 , I had hit the fence further south than I thought - from there, I was looking for the three big rock cluster, but went for the three circular ones (in front) instead of the three linear ones (to my left) - ended up too far south and overshot to 12 instead of 11. I guess I thought I was about 200m North-west of where I actually was.. I was getting quite tired at that point - not very fit ;)

@VistaVision3 I use QuickRoute to get the GPS and map synched, then OrientView to get the map, track and video combined. No LiveLox involved.

Thanks for liking

@MPOrienteering , I was too relaxed (this race wouldn't count for points for me because I was the course setter - which makes my mispunch worse).. I think I do better with more pressure - but yeah, small school and lines everywhere. :)

@gabibetancor4293 Hola, GoPro 11 mini (2k, 4:3) - Quickroute -> Orientview (Github) -> iMovie :)

@@gmilne13 Gracias por tu respuesta. Voy a ver si consigo hacer algo como tu haces, con estos programas que me comentas. gracias.

@thog1234 I love a good sprint :) so good luck and enjoy it. A lot of people crossed uncrossable walls in this race (including me, but I reversed out when I noticed..) .. walls and fences all look very similar on a map, so take your time

@KhurshidsChannel - thanks for your kind comments :)

Messaged you :)

Glad you enyoyed it - couldn't have happened without all the volunteers :) so thanks to you

...and #24 !!

@@UrbanOrienteering Yeah, both cases wrong control location - I suspect the tracks were much more overgrown than expected - you can see when I'm going to 11 (same control) that I'm looking for the track entrance and it doesn't seem to exist.

@connorward4665 - best places are the Club webpages - they also all have Facebook and Instagram groups, but the webpages have the calendars of events :) AOC - orienteeringauckland.org.nz/ CMOC - cmoc.co.nz/ North West - www.nwoc.org.nz/

@thog1234 Good question :) Actually it was neither. One of the main reasons why I ran this particular course was because I wanted to film a Yellow run. I'm editing another version of it with commentary to help my Yellow runners with simple techniques - so I tried not to get too complicated during the run. However, I'm from a running background so normally I stick to tracks as often as possible because it's my strength, so possibly I would have run this anyway? The Red courses were mad and had so much running through green - glad I missed those ;)

You do get used to it - very typical forest for Auckland - but to be fair, I did get lost going to 6. Went to the wrong ridge and couldn't see the contours because of all the green. It was only when I saw the road that I realised I was a few hundred metres east of where I thought I was :)

@@gmilne13 Yeah, that's the thing. You cant see the contours because of the foliage. That's very hard for me as well.

Hopefully good memories :)

It's a great location and the planner (Renee) really made us concentrate :) we're lucky to be able to have access

It's a really fun forest to run in - quite open in bits and nice features - fast - full body protection is essential ;)

Thanks :)

It was filmed at 60fps, but somewhere in the encoding dropped to 30fps - need to find out where - next one :)

Found out what the problem was - iMovie issue :)

Never stops :)

Thanks for the feedback - wasn't sure if it would make a difference - I have changed my camera to 60 fps :)

Yes I agree a voiceover would really elevate this video!

I’ll give it a go - no one likes the sound of their own voice ;)

Agreed - I think you get used to it - it's quite common terrain over here - I do prefer our coastal forests though, much more like the European forests (from the videos I watch)

Thanks - will look for the frame error and try and isolate it :)

BTW the encoder error was during iMovie encoding, but I think it links back to a frame error in the original video (but maybe its an iMovie issue?) - I'll investigate when I get home from work :)

8/10 - no cover image, zoom or map - some frame encoder error on iMovie stopped me editing it fully

@@gmilne13 videography was so good I didn’t even notice your signature edit

Cheers - there were certainly some hills involved :)

Thanks Mark :) I'm just in the learning phase of creating maps - I like doing schools and urban areas. I updated your ALexandra Park map - all those new apartments - was fun

The joy of orienteering maps is the scale is always spot on and they are always north on the page - I scaled the west map then just merged them in Photoshop - fit like a glove. Wish I had managed to get the same size control circles, but nothing is prefect ;)

Thanks :) was fun to run

And looking at the fences all around the place, it's going to change fairly majorly again. Thanks for the original map - it was a great place to plan my courses :)

Thanks for the comment :) I am using a GoPro 11 mini - small and very light - running at 1080p (not 4k) Quickroute to synch gps and map Avidemux for video editing Orientview to combine route and video (and synch splits etc) - on Github iMovie to produce the final video. There is also Headcam Orienteering v3 by Ernst Poulson, which is really good and simpler, but I like the extra control you get from Orientview.

We know Ernst. He is based in Copenhagen and is really pushing his HeadCam Orienteering Software. Thanks for the sub b.t.w. although I stopped filming a while ago! I may be tempted to start up again now the tech is better.... I was on a GoPro 4 Silver! Lots of Orienteering Headcam channels out there, but yours is definately one of the best! Cheers :)

Thanks Samuel - good choice
