Trec terminology - help please

[Rowreach]

Can anyone tell me what the initials POR (the orienteering phase) and PVR (the xc/obstacle course) stand for - I am assuming it's something in another language as it is referred to as "international terminology".

I have some rather sickly banoffee pie here if you are desperate

It's French, the POR stands for Parcours d'Orientation et de Regularite. And PVR? do you mean PTV? stands for Parcours en Terrain Varie.

Yes please to the banoffee

I know they're French (it originated there) but don't know what they stand for sorry (despite a French degree I still can't work it out!) I thought the obstacles were PTV though?

I did my first event on Sunday and somehow managed to win it, so I supposed not knowing is no barrier!

ETA: Cross posted!

Yeah I meant PTV oops

Wedges of banoffee winging their way to you both, many thanks wonderful HHOers (always to be relied upon )

Oh and many congrats Annagain!!

No idea and thank you

It can be called La Maitrise des Allures, but that's a bit of a mouth full.

I have to admit to finding all these terms in my BHS Trec book, but I do compete in Trec.

No I shall just pretend you Are the Oracle on the subject and thank you very much for your help. Have you been sick yet?

 

[Ashgrove]

That banoffee was way too nice to be sick on
