Cheyne Hill Summer Series 21-5-14 Results

Results   If you spot any spelling mistakes then tell webmaster@grampoc.com please. Congratulations to those who bit the bullet and tried out ‘The Technical Twist’ – a section of the course was printed without any background map so they had to rely on bearings and pacing to get to the next control. Although many pulled wryContinue reading “Cheyne Hill Summer Series 21-5-14 Results”

Tyrebagger 14/5/14 Summer Series Results

Well done to all the brave souls who had a go at the Map Memory.

We had 66 entries – a few more competitors thanContinue reading “Tyrebagger 14/5/14 Summer Series Results”

Scolty Forest Sprint 9/5/14 Results

Plan a bog standard TD3 course I was told. So I did. And quite successfully judging by the state of many of you but the prize for overall coverage and gloopiness has to go to poor wee Joel Gooch who looked like a giant had picked him up and dunked him in chocolate custard upContinue reading “Scolty Forest Sprint 9/5/14 Results”

A few Gramps spotted at Run Balmoral

As they will no doubt be too modest to tell you themselves and in case you don’t scrutinise the P&J… Carolyn McLeod won the Women’s 10k race at Balmoral yesterday (21st overall) and Naomi won the Secondary Schools race and broke the course record by 15 seconds. Woohoo! Well done girls! Sasha was the secondContinue reading “A few Gramps spotted at Run Balmoral”

3 GRAMPS in podium places at JK2014

Putting her money (feet?) where her coaching mouth is, Anne came 3rd overall W55S at the JK down in Wales over the Easter W/e. Looks like she and Rob were also having a private Pre-O battle which resulted in a draw with one better result apiece. (There’s a rumour that Anne will be signing autographsContinue reading “3 GRAMPS in podium places at JK2014”

Sasha and other selected ScotJOSers at EYOC

Sasha, along with 5 other ScotJOS colleagues, was rubbing shoulders with future champions at the European Youth O Champs in Portugal recently.

Standing on the shoulders of (future) giants

Despite the tough tussocky terrain on the first half of the courses, Team HalfGramp managed 6th place in the 8 Person category of this year’s Interclub Relay but we have to come clean and admit that this was only achieved by cunningly taking up organiser Jess’ offer to hire us some SEDS members to makeContinue reading “Standing on the shoulders of (future) giants”

Sasha makes it into the British Talent Development Squad 2012/13

Fantastic news on the BOF website that Sasha has earned a well-deserved place in the M16 group of the British Talent Development Squad! You can see the announcement and the company he’ll be keeping on the BOF website.
