GMC – fingers crossed everyone
It is still our hope that the Grampian Mountain Challenge can go ahead in November 2021. If we think it could go ahead, we plan to open entries later than we would normally do, probably around 1st August, to allow us to gauge as well as possible how things are progressing, what changes might need to be in place, and the views of other relevant bodies. Please keep an eye on the Grampian Orienteers Club website for further updates.

Real O Events!!!!
YES, they are finally happening!
Here are results from Hazlehead – big thanks to David Esson for cranking the SI controls into BST-mode and persuading them they wanted to go and sit in a wood again after their cushty number sitting in his flat all this time and to Gareth Yardley for wrangling them back in before they had time to decide they actually quite liked it out there and went feral.
Yellow Results Yellow Splits
Forest Spring (LG) Results Forest Sprint Splits

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.
