Registration for Thomas Ironsite is now open. EventReg | Thomas Ironsite Sprints 7-18-26 Event will be Saturday, July 18 from 4:30 to 6:30. I suggest long pants as some route choices will go through some nettles. We will be going to dinner at Wings on MAin in Hellertown after all controls are picked up.

Might need to look for a different place to eat:

After extensive research and taste testing (we had dinner at a bar), I have chosen Beer Mussels for dinner. It may be somewhat limited, but it is cheap.

Hi Steve,

I put the word out on Attackpoint to contact you if anyone has a ride to Thomas Iron from NYC area. 

You might email him back about  https://www.attackpoint.org  and the fact that, in addition to the Thomas Iron Site, there is also a series of events listed there called:  "Tuesday Evening Orienteering sessions in NYC".

Glen Tryson has suggested that I inform everyone that our start and registration will be a ten to fifteen minute walk from the parking lot. Follow the o signs and walk north from the traffic turn around. You will pass the only restroom on the way.
