Just found an article about Cretan ancient coins.

Looking at the coin image, there's an arrow pointing up. Could it be pointing to the North?
--EDIT--
i mean...does it somehow tell us how the labyrinths were orientated?

I don't think orientation is important

how many circuits is that square labyrinth on the coin?

This, and other tips, will probably turn up in Ariadne's blog soon, but Kai let me know in an e-mail that tall buildings can interfere with the effectiveness of the trackstick. "Tracksticks don't do terribly well without a direct line of sight to satellites."
So that's something to consider in the designs.

I sent a labyrinth design to Mei Hui for NYC because she e-mailed and asked for it. My design is just silly as I've never been there. I drew a route that would end up at the MoMA, and based the design on nothing more than I would like to go there.

Someone with local knowledge please help with NYC! I think Kai and Mei want to try the city labyrinth during the June 7 weekend.

I e-mailed Eli Hunt asking about whether city labyrinths had to be run from the outside-in, inside-out, or both (outside to inside to outside, like a personal labyrinth). Here is his response:

One posible BA urban labyrinth is totally based in that coin. The labyrinth center is the "Obelisco":

Has anyone heard an approval from Eli yet? I am itching to organize a training-and-city-labyrinth day for Toronto, but I don't want to go ahead without an approved design...

No word from Eli yet, and I am waiting just as impatiently as you!
I had sent him both my first, very preliminary and rough sketches (a week ago!) and the final three designs our team has agreed upon.

Until now: silence.

June 16 seems to be the ideal compromise date for our Munich labyrinth - but we need to organize some things until then, and it's a bit hard to do so without an approved design. "Training-and-city-labyrinth" day sounds like a brilliant idea, but I fear we won't have the time nor the number of people necessary for both.
