Hazelhead Night O – Wed 26/10/2016 – Results

We had a pleasant starry night for the “come and try it” Night-O at Hazlehead. Some fast times were recorded on Helen’s good courses.  The recent rain has wetted the ground quite a lot.  The grass was pretty squelchy in places (not good for golfers) and the ditches had a lot of water in them.Continue reading “Hazelhead Night O – Wed 26/10/2016 – Results”

Urban Sprint Duthie Park and Ferryhill 14/9/16

Results  Splits     Routegadget  Overall points The Jury decided we should void the leg from 4 to 5 as he control description for 5 didn’t include the vital bit of info as to which side of the uncrossable fence the control was placed and was therefore unfair. The results have therefore had that leg deducted fromContinue reading “Urban Sprint Duthie Park and Ferryhill 14/9/16”

Autumn Urban Sprint Balgownie 7th Sept

Thank you Gordon for a much appreciated course judging by the buzz of conversation comparing routes at download and a few “DOH!” head slaps too as folk realised they’d missed a trick. Quite a few mispunches not least punching 6 instead of 16 in the mad rush to get to the finish although the twoContinue reading “Autumn Urban Sprint Balgownie 7th Sept”

2016 Summer Series Finale Templars Park, BBQ and prize giving

A “slight twist” was promised and turned out to be a retrO twist so thanks to Stuart for all his hard work checking punch patterns and calculating times and winners the hard way – far more work for him than us playing spot-the-difference copying courses from master maps. He spoiled us though: – a table to doContinue reading “2016 Summer Series Finale Templars Park, BBQ and prize giving”

Dunnottar – 20/7/16 – Results

Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening!

It was a little slippy under foot, prize for collecting most mud goes to OliviaContinue reading “Dunnottar – 20/7/16 – Results”

Balmedie 29/06/16 – Results

The dunes were in great form with lots of people running round pretending to be marmots – or at least that’s how it looked from the one human that pretended to be a control. Lots of technical hitches tonight, but I hope you were all able to enjoy Helen’s courses and the BBQ none-the-less. ItContinue reading “Balmedie 29/06/16 – Results”

GAC Results after Crathes

John has shunned his responsibilities as spreadsheet master again this week by remaining stuck offshore…some people will do anything to avoid typing in a few numbers. Anyway in his absence Shearwater have shot into the lead (and managed to get 9 people out last night- good effort!). Victoria and Claire still leading the ladies andContinue reading “GAC Results after Crathes”

GAC results after Scolty

Genesis were short of men again this week and surprisingly so were Maersk. Shell/Shearwater were short of ladies…Maybe they should do a deal? Some great performances for many on what was a distinctly harder course than Hazlehead or Countesswells.

Countesswells 01/06/16 – Results

Another lovely evening for running about in the woods, although it got surprisingly chilly by the end. A few boulder controls catching people out – remember to find a good attack point for the trickier controls such as these (and choose the fastest route to the attack point). If only I practiced what I justContinue reading “Countesswells 01/06/16 – Results”

Forest Sprint Series 2016 Final Results

Overall results after 6 events. Congrats to Jake Chapman and Sarah Dunn on a Maroc double win this year.

Forest Sprint Dunnottar Woods 27/4/16 – Results

Thanks to all who came along tonight. The sleet, snow and hail held off for the evening so apart from being a tad slippy underfoot all was well (pity same can’t be said for the afternoon!).

AUOCup Scolty and Final Results

AUOCup finished with two technical courses in Scolty. The long course was 5.3km, but had only 5 controls – a great long distance control practice! Evgueni was the brave one tackling the course as the only Gramp (to secure his win in the long, non-student category) and beat the course in great time! Here areContinue reading “AUOCup Scolty and Final Results”

AUOCup Crathes results and overall scores

The 5th AUOCup event was held yesterday at Crathes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and maybe because of that, we were not expecting such a great turnout. Hence, we ran out of maps for a few runners, but with a bit of improvisation and drawing out the courses from memory, everyone got out to attackContinue reading “AUOCup Crathes results and overall scores”

AUOCup @ Glen Dye Saturday 13th Feb – Results

Some tight battles for seconds in some categories, and in some the first forest orienteering sinceContinue reading “AUOCup @ Glen Dye Saturday 13th Feb – Results”

Tyrebagger Event (Level C) 14/2/16 – Results

A bright winter’s day in Tyrebagger, with a dusting of snow on the ground but not enough to get in the way, even on the open hillside.  Those who started late were caught in a short but sharp snowstorm, which made the wood very dark all of a sudden! (making it difficult to read theContinue reading “Tyrebagger Event (Level C) 14/2/16 – Results”

DNC Tyrebagger results 6/1/16

Not such a bad night despite the forecast and oddly the worst wet bits were gigantic puddles on the main tracks and not the stream that bisects the area E-W as expected. There were about four people who complained about location of control 167 (I suspect they were right), most said they found it noContinue reading “DNC Tyrebagger results 6/1/16”
