It takes a while for the images to load, but it is interesting to see the terrain and the routes. The area is mostly flat and, for the most part, there is not much detail. It looks like it would be difficult orienteering.

The second day featured an entirely different type of terrain and short courses. The terrain is much "rougher" looking -- more up and down.

Both winners routes show some mistakes. Jimmy Birklin who won the M21 course seems to have missed two of the last three controls. Cissi Nilsson (?) won F21 but seems to have done a few crooked routes (to the 2nd and 6th controls).

Hanne Staff won the day, but had some problems. Look at her boom at the second control and far-from-the-line route to three. After the rough start, she managed to get it together and win the day. Hanne took an interesting route to 6. She went wide and took a road. Apparently a lot of the runners did not see that route. Hanne won the leg.

Routes from the fourth day...

The women's winner -- Emma Engstrand -- is a strong runner. Take a look at how far off the straight route she went on the second leg.
