Jon Duncan Junior Deeside Cup 2012
The Jon Duncan Junior Deeside Cup is named after an honorary GRAMP and ex-British Team member, Jon Duncan, who is now enjoying semi-retirement from the international orienteering scene growing beetroot in Norway. (Honest!)
Here are the rules and 2012 (JD)2C events. Any questions? Contact Trevor Ricketts of MAROC or Iain Barraclough of GRAMP or ask at an event.
We’ll be posting the (JD)2C rankings here as the year progresses and, as you’re automatically entered into the competition if you’re a GRAMP or MAROC Junior, all you need do now is make sure you get along to as many events as you can this year. Good Luck!
Important stuff we want to keep reminding you about........
Our first “big” event of the year and it’s a GRAMP CHAMPS and (JD)2C counter so come and get some points chalked up. This was supposed to have been a second stab at running the event at Scolty which was cancelled due to snow last year, but felling plans have scuppered it this year instead! So, we’ve borrowed Bogendriep for the day and will be using a bit of the area you don’t often get to see (for the longer courses anyway).
Parking will be on forest tracks – turn off the B974 just before you get to Bridge of Bogendriep. Map
Assembly is adjacent to the parking; the Start is 900m from Assembly along the parking track so runners please be aware of traffic and vice versa; the Finish is 100m from Assembly/Download.
7 colour coded courses:
White 1.6km 20m climb
Yellow 2.2km 25m
Orange 3km 105m

We’ll be operating the Early Email Entry system up until midnight Friday 24th – tell us if you intend coming and we’ll reserve you a map until 12:00 on the day. No need to fill in a stub at reg, just go to the EEE registration point to pay and collect your brikke.
