Forest Sprint Series 2015 Fridays 10th April to 15th May

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 whileContinue reading “Forest Sprint Series 2015 Fridays 10th April to 15th May”

Templars Park – Wed 27th – Results

Results We can’t claim sole credit for the idea – I remember a similar version (without the Linear part) being put on by our Pres some years ago. With any new format, it’s tricky to know how people will pick up the idea. Unfortunately some people thought that the Invisible Score controls could be pickedContinue reading “Templars Park – Wed 27th – Results”

The Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon has a class called ‘Bedafell’ specifically  for parent and child, where the child is aged 14-18. Lachlan did it with his dad and got a fantastic third place. Keith andContinue reading “Two Gramp Juniors get their first taste of a mountain marathon”

Dunnottar 11/6/14 – Results

I hope everyone enjoyed Dunnottar last week, not too muddy or slippy and the nettles weren’t so bad if you thought about all the Peacock butterflies they are supporting. Did anybody stop for a bit of bodging? I liked their smoky-wood-shavings-midge-repellent idea (is that what it was for?). Here are the finalised results (thanks for your patience),Continue reading “Dunnottar 11/6/14 – Results”

Hazelhead Summer Series 28/5/14 Results

Results Well, that was a blast of fun thanks to Iain McLeod’s cunning use of two maps at different scales to keep us on our toes. What’s the verdict on Doug’s new map? Makes the old campsite area feel quite different at that scale? And hands up who got tricked into running across that nice openContinue reading “Hazelhead Summer Series 28/5/14 Results”
