Thanks to Ian for 2 great courses – lots of appreciative words despite the freezing wind. I hope the long trip from MAROC land was worth the effort. Routegadget will follow tomorrow.

TRAINING: lowkey, probably no timing, just a chance to learn/practise bearings and other night tactics

TORCH HIRE: £2 per night, 2 torches available, contact Sam G/Iain M/Richard O.

Tyrebagger DNC 11/1/12 – Results
<<Tyrebagger DNC 11-1-12 – Results.pdf>> <<Tyrebagger DNC 11-1-12 – Split time results.pdf>>
Was sorely tempted to stop and hide inside the sculpture/hut/temple thingy towards the end but decided against as rumours of orienteers flipping out over a ‘ghost’ or, worse still, suffering a heart attack wouldn’t be good publicity for the DNC! Thanks to Lesley and Jack for manning the fort while Sam was otherwise occupied. Routegadget is also up. http://www.gramp.routegadget.co.uk/cgi-bin/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=74&kieli=

Hogmany Hangover Handicap 2012 Results
Here are the results – slightly different from what was announced on the day but as far as I can make out the only damage done is one or two folk gaining more chocolate than was really good for them. Thanks to Katrina and the rest of the McLeod clan for planning and hosting.

Post-AGM Bi-O-thlon @ Kirkhill 11/12/2011
Splits Simple results and notes. Glad to see Ewen practically did the Bike O section (as opposed to impractically which would presumably mean by unicycle?) but dismayed to see that Carolyn won the Short Bi-O course on foot alone!! (Although maybe she should be DSQed as she didn’t wear a helmet or have to figure out how to carry her Emit brikke and steer at the same time?)
Thanks to Dave and family for cheerfully manning a somewhat chilly registration/transition while the rest of us had great fun battling through ice-encrusted puddles and braving death-defying descents on our bikes before taking off on wobbly legs for the Foot O section where more than one experienced orienteer was caught out by the control on the top of a big crag. Dagnabbit!
Did you enjoy it? Should we try more Bike O events? Leave a comment below and let us know.
Foggieton Night-O Results 30/11/11 – Updated
I’ve updated the results as I’d mistakenly put Jon on the Medium course – a first I’m sure. Results now on Routegadget.

VHI 2011 Relays – partial results
Firstly, I would like to offer a wholehearted apology for the error that caused us to void the relay result and, by consequence, the overall Veterans Home International 2011 event. Quite simply, we made a labelling error for the all of the 2 Women + 1 Man category courses, i.e. on 4 of the 8 Courses. This resulted in competitors being given the wrong length courses for their legs, which meant that many senior veterans were sent out on much longer courses than anticipated, which after their efforts to conquer Birsemore Hill yesterday was, I’m sure, less than welcome. There was also confusion for later leg runners, who also had to run out of class and, no doubt, a severe feeling of let-down. The fact that this problem was greeted with such grace, forbearance and, amazingly, sympathy from competitors was truly humbling. I can’t say how grateful we all are for your responses, especially as I know of the long lengths many people went to to come and represent their country.
Following consultation, the Team Managers agreed that the preferred option was to not to attempt to declare a result on the basis of the remaining classes and as a result, there are no 2011 Relay, Overall or Stonewall Trophy Winners. It was felt that the extent of the voided courses was such that any result would not be fair. If the courses voided had crossed both categories, there may have been a case for declaring a result.
We will publish the results of the ‘valid’ relay courses and attempt to reconstruct the splits of those who ran on the wrong course so that we can provide a set of results by gaffle.
I hope you all enjoyed the Individual Event, narrowly won by England, the social evening in Ballater, that the problems on the Relay did not ruin your weekend and that at least some of you enjoyed running around what is a beautiful forest on courses that attracted praise from the competitors.
I’d like to record my thanks to all of the Team from Grampian and Mar Orienteering clubs that put the events together for their hard work and commitment as well as the landowners and the staff at the Lodge on the Loch.
Once again, please accept my apologies and I wish you all luck if you are selected next year.
Regards,
Pete Lawrence

Autumn Urban Sprint Series 2011
We decided to experiment this year by keeping the regular Wednesday pm slot going through the autumn by using some of our urban maps. Not quite as popular as the Summer Series but we still had a regular core of runners including some of our Cosmic friends who, although being more used to running flat out over the hills, still seemed to really enjoy the extra dimension of getting their heads around such detailed maps.

Sprint O is great fun – lots of controls in quick succession in a relatively short distance and fast running alone is no use in this discipline if it’s of the headless chicken variety! You really have to look closely at the map, make snap decisions about route choice, execute them quickly and cleanly while all the time trying to read a jiggling map and watch where your feet are going. Give it a go.
