Please check through both fully before arriving to ensure a smooth event for all of you and our volunteers. A big thank you for everything planner, Gareth Yardley, and organiser, Ian Hamilton, have done so far aided and abetted by controller, Roger Coombs. Looking like it’s going to be a cracking event so just remains to say good luck to everyone competing – have a great run!

Below are the results from tonight’s event at Hazlehead Park. Was a gorgeous evening, and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves. Interestingly we have a few participants who had equal times. Not often we get that!

Many thanks to Tim and George for putting the controls out and Tim, Bob and George for collecting the controls.

GRAMP are really looking forward to welcoming you all to Glen Dye in May for the Individual races for this year’s Scottish Championships. Although the area was hit by recent storms enough survives that we’re confident you’ll be able to enjoy the traditional Glen Dye Experience as well as having fun trying out some new areas of mapping while vying for those trophies. Good luck everyone!

MAROC will round the weekend off by hosting the Relay Championships on Sun 29th May at Sluie, a little further up Deeside.

We have finalised our fixtures list for 2022 and there’s something for everyone:

– 6 Forest Sprints starting 30th March (joint venture with Maroc as usual but some forests out of action so mix of forest, urban and beach this year)
– our Summer Series kicks in late May/June
– Autumn Sprints in August (bit earlier this year to avoid late starters running in the dark)
– sprinkled in amongst all those there’s also a SOUL at Banchory, we’re hosting Scottish Champs 2022 in Glen Dye on a new map plus Maroc are taking care of the Scottish Relays the day after, then towards the end of the year we have big events planned at Crathes and Balmedie.
