STAGE 3<br />

GUNNARSÖ<br />

Now it’s time to move to the sea and<br />

Gunnarsö Arena for a long distance<br />

race. If you are staying at the O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />

campsite or in Oskarshamn, we recommend<br />

cycling to the arena – it’s less<br />

than 5 km. If you don’t have a bike with<br />

you and the walk is a bit too far, there<br />

will be buses from Döderhultsdalen.<br />

Now we’re by the sea on the Småland coast<br />

and the typical coastal terrain is much less<br />

hilly than Stages 1 and 2.<br />

The terrain is characterised by large areas<br />

of pine forest with open rock, detailed hills<br />

and marshes of all sizes, which form natural<br />

boundaries between the open rock areas and<br />

small hills. Shorter and easier courses stay in<br />

the area closest to the arena, in terrain with<br />

a lot of paths winding their way between the<br />

marshes, small hills and up over the bare<br />

rock, where they can sometimes be a little<br />

unclear. Make sure you look up to see where<br />

the path continues on the other side. Longer<br />

and more technical courses have a bit more<br />

climb and the terrain has fewer paths, with<br />

lots of detail to make the orienteering more<br />

difficult, especially near the old sea inlet in<br />

and around the nature reserve Sjöboviken,<br />

which is crossed using bridges. The courses<br />

finish though the area close to the arena<br />

with many paths. If you look up when you<br />

finish, you will see the blue water of Östersjön.<br />

If it’s a nice day, taking a dip in the sea<br />

might be the perfect way to finish your race!<br />

Comments after test-running the<br />

courses for Stage 3 on 13 th Sept 2023:<br />

• I would like another longer leg.<br />

Det finns flera studier som försöker reda ut varför människor har olika<br />

förmåga att orientera sig i omgivningen. Till viss del kan förmågan vara<br />

medfödd och till och med vara påverkad av ett visst hormon. Andra studier<br />

har funnit att det är individuella egenskaper och anlag som hjälper till. Att<br />

kunna tänka i väderstreck, vinklar och hitta kännetecken i omgivningen. Vi<br />

tycker gott att lokalsinne även kan beskriva förmågan att kunna läsa av och<br />

hitta rätt i lokalsamhället. Att förstå sammanhang, diskutera och hitta<br />

markörer för att kunna orientera sig i allt det som händer. Oskarshamns-<br />

Tidningens dagliga utgivning bidrar till att träna lokalsinnet.<br />

Under sommaren 2024 kommer besökare och deltagare i O-<strong>Ringen</strong> att mer<br />

eller mindre inta Oskarshamn. Vill du presentera budskap för både dessa och<br />

Oskarshamnsborna har vi annonserbjudanden i både nyhetsmedia och på<br />

utomhustavlor.<br />
