Does anyone know about any good orienteering web pages?

One of the pages that I check almost every day is the O-Net .

The O-Net is a mailing list that covers all sorts of orienteering topics. Most of the discussion is not very interesting, but sometimes there is some interesting news. Reading the O-Net on the web page can be a lot more convenient than subscribing to the mailing list.

What other web pages do people find intersting (or useful or strange or whatever)?

The unofficial U.S. junior page is very cool. It looks like someone has put a lot of work into making the site. Among the features are: on-line training logs for juniors, on-line reports of events, a discussion page, and on-line profiles. The profiles include what events people plan to attend.

I don't know about good orienteering pages, but I can think of one really, really, really BAD orienteering page that I'd have to rank below anything else I've ever seen! I'm referring the the ALTOS club page... you can get to it by going to the USOF page, picking the "Clubs" section, then clicking on the US map at the dot near the AR/TX/LA borders and going to the ALTOS page. Although I haven't seen it for 6 months or more, I suspect that the most disgusting part of the ALTOS page is still found by following the "Mother Bird" link.

In short, the ALTOS web page is the antithesis of everything I respect and hold sacred about OK.

While I've not found any specific sites, I think the World of O http://www.fi.uib.no/~jankoc/worldo/worldo.html is pretty comprehensive.

I took at look at the ALTOS page for the first time. It certainly is a strange page.
