The 4th Reunion d\'Aventures Event

A day of orienteering

18.05.2007

The third day of the RÉUNION D’AVENTURES was almost exclusively devoted to orienteering for all three categories of competitors.

Teams in the Extreme category found themselves at Grand Bassin before continuing via the volcanos Piton Bleu and Piton Tortue, and then working their way through a rugged and steep volcanic landscape. The ascent went via the Calumets.

The “Adventure� category also had the Dimitile on its programme. The routes of the two categories “Extreme� and “Adventure�, joined at the foot of the Piton des Neiges where teams from the “Discovery� category arrived directly from the Plaine des Cafres.

Reunited on a common route, all the competitors had to climb up to the Piton des Neiges before descending towards Hell Bourg.

At 6 pm, three “Extreme� teams and eight “Discovery� teams had completed this ascent and were descending towards Hell Bourg. Almost all of them were forced to camp outdoors without having reached their destination. Two “Discovery� teams spent the night on the flanks of the Piton des Neiges. None of the “Adventure� teams had reached the shelter of the Dufour cavern yesterday evening, the obligatory point of passage before climbing to the Island’s peak. Two “Extreme� teams were in the same situation.

Regarding the rankings, there are no notable changes. Five teams are in the “Extreme� category, including the leader which is still Team 14 LES ARCS QUECHUA-1, in front of Team 4 AIGLE SYBELLES ESF and Team 15 LES ARCS QUECHUA-2.

Ten teams who were unable to reach the Bateau cave in time, are now in the “Adventure� category, with Team 6 CAP OPALE-1 leading.
Finally, ten teams are classified in “Discovery�, where Team 2 XTREM BORDACHES, holds the first place.

Three teams are continuing the race unclassified, as a result of losing team members. One is continuing on the “Extreme� course, the two others on the “Discovery� course.
