This year the WOD will be held from 17th to 23rd May, and Park World Tour is proudly helping the development of our sport in new countries.
PWT support the work of Mauritius after the great success of last year Mauritius 3 days Orienteering, helping the local federation to improve the use of OCAD for map drawing. The Mauritians are very much involved in the WOD with a lot of trainings and involving many schools for the day.
PWT is also helping India and Malaysia for this occasion.
Stay tuned for the pictures of the activities in these countries!
Recently, Giulia – Project Manager of PWT Academy, visited the Lovely Professional University of Jalandhar, Punjab (LPU) with the help of Dev Balhara.
Successful meetings were held with Dr Sorabh Lakhanpal, Associate Dean at Division of Students Affairs and Dr. V. Kaul, Professor and Associate Director – Division of Sport, who are keen to introduce orienteering and add a new sport to the 26 already practiced at the LPU.
The campus of the University is very big, 6km square, more than 25.000 students, 150 programs, students from more than 26 countries, and it is suitable to host both orienteering seminars but also orienteering races.
And also get info about the book “Memories of the winners” – and leaf through and extract of it!
The WRE race of Sunday was spectacular, and we awarded the winners Megan Carter-Davies and Matthias Kyburz with a voucher to Mauritius 3 days Orienteering!
But don’t worry too much, there’s still a chance to win the last 2 vouchers for Mauritius Orienteering at the sprint race of WOC Denmark 2022!
Keep following us and stay updated about where you can meet us next and where to pick up the book without shipping costs.
The mapping continued in Mauritius with the arrival of Petr Hranicka, international mapper. Together with Roman, and with the unshakable help of John Domah of Orienteering M, the map works continued to Domain de Lagrave, fully supported by Mr Gilbert, the owner.
This is such an interesting area for orienteering. Are you ready to compete here? We are finalizing the preliminary info of Mauritius 3 days, next year in November 😎 Stay tuned!
On 08/10 Mrs Hima Seeboruth and Mr John Domah of Orienteering M guided Mr Jaroslav Kacmarcik of IOF – Global Development Commission and Ms Giulia Zenere of Park World Tour Academy, thanks to the facilitation of NPCS, to visit Black River Gorges National Park from the entrance in Pétrin (Black River) and on an easy track up to the first viewpoint.

The visitor centre in Pétrin
The park and its nature look stunning, the tracks are wide and provided with brand-new signs, from here the nature is very exposed to sunshine.
There are four entry points to the National Park. This nature reserve provides over 60 km of trails of different lenghts and difficulty – the longest of 14km, waterfalls, pristine rivers, picnic areas, wide canyons and dramatic mountain ranges, together with two information centres.
Staying on the south-west part of the Island, the delegation continued its journey to Green Village – Le Morne to meet Dr. Bernard Baptiste, Head of Youth on the Move and Elderly programmes, responsible for the Outdoor Education.
Dr Baptiste guided us through Green Village, a fantastic venue. The idea is to implement the activities in the village with orienteering, and have an orienteering map to be used also for schools, together with a punching system.

The delegation continued to Black River Gorges NP from the south entrance. The park on this side looks totally different than from the north. Very tall and shady trees and stream, on an almost flat terrain with stones, makes it look gorgeous.
