Jon Duncan Junior Deeside Cup rankings after Scolty
Latest (JD)2C Rankings after Scolty here.
Bogendriep 4th Nov is the last in the series so make sure you get along there to grab some more vital points towards those (JD)2C trophies or just to get out and about doing the sport you love before winter sets in.
(Message from Scott Reynolds – if you check the standings and find a mistake, especially re shadowing, please let him or Laura Farquharson know. Ta.)
Jon Duncan Junior Deeside Cup 2018 full rules and points scheme and list of events for you to target (although we’ve still yet to finalise the full list. Like to keep you guessing but hopefully not much longer now.)
Important stuff we want to keep reminding you about........
Parking in the large car park first on the left after turning off the bypass. Map.
Later arrivals can form a bit of an island in the centre but leave space for folk to get past please. And if chokka, use the further car park and come back along the path to the first car park.
Long 4.9km, Short 3.1km – both get out onto the moorland so wrap up warm or take a waterproof layer if the weather looks like you might need it.
Should be good to go from 17:30 onwards, last start 19:00, courses close 20:00.
See you there!

TICK AWARENESS AND TREE DISEASES
Ticks (no not this kind, the bad kind) just love to move in on unsuspecting orienteers. Here's a brief guide on what to look for and how to remove the wee critters.
Scotland is still suffering outbreaks of tree diseases and we can do our bit to help stop the spread and also continue good working relationships with landowners whose land we use by following the guidelines given here.
