Results Squelch, squelch, drip, drip, splish, splash, sploooosh… Thanks go to Bob Sheridan for having faith in the hard core bunch of nutters that we all are and still thinking it was worth setting out controls and sitting patiently in the rain waiting for us last night.

Foggieton Summer Series 14/6/17 Results
Results Well done to all those who braved the no paths version of the map, especially the Short Tech runners moving up from Medium or who said they were just getting back into orienteering after a long break. No handrails can be a bit daunting at first but makes you feel very smug when youContinue reading “Foggieton Summer Series 14/6/17 Results”
Tyrebagger results uploaded to BOF
It was a bit of a tag team event in terms of admin and officials but we’ve finally managed to get the right combo in Aberdeen this weekend to upload the results to BOF for the rankings. Sadly only the Brown course had sufficient qualifying finishers so only they get any points. For newcomers: theContinue reading “Tyrebagger results uploaded to BOF”
8/6/17 Dunnottar Woods Summer Series Results
Despite the 48 hours of rain beforehand, the weather was lovely and I think the evening went well, as evidenced by the number of people coming back covered in mud!

24/5/17 Hazlehead Summer Series starts and WOD
Beautifully hot evening to kick off the Summer Series and to coincide with World Orienteering Day!

It all mostly went according to plan though a few controls went walkaboutContinue reading “24/5/17 Hazlehead Summer Series starts and WOD”

Forest Sprint results from Foggieton 10th May
A pleasant cool and dry evening. A bit difficult to squeeze a 3 km course into such a small area.

Tyrebagger Middle Distance – Sunday 28/5/17 – Results
A cold wind if you were hanging about at the registration tent, but otherwise fine dry conditions for a quick dash around Tyrebagger.

Dunnottar Forest Sprint 26/4/17 Results
The midges weren’t actually biting, the notorious mudslides of Dunnottar weren’t anywhere near as bad as previous years, Jon beat Ewan by 2 seconds, the injury wasn’t a broken ankle as feared and Rachel and Pete had their chips. I’d call that an evening full of results. Dunnottar FS 26-4-17.pdf Many thanks to Mark HammondsContinue reading “Dunnottar Forest Sprint 26/4/17 Results”
Hazlehead Forest Sprint Wednesday 12th April Results
Results A straightforward event at Hazlehead: just one unmapped abandoned tent between two points – not quite as exciting as the naturist sunbathing in the dunes at Balmedie last year. Olivia had brisk trade at her cake stall, not surprising as we were spoilt for choice and my choice was delicious. Some new faces andContinue reading “Hazlehead Forest Sprint Wednesday 12th April Results”
Crathes – Level C Event – 9/4/17 – Results
Crathes Event Results A pleasant mild day at Crathes, perfect conditions and dry underfoot, so some fast times seen especially by the leaders on the Brown (and all the more impressive considering the fastest 4 legs had already done the Clachnaben Hill Race on Sat!) And at the other end of the spectrum, it wasContinue reading “Crathes – Level C Event – 9/4/17 – Results”
Forest Sprint Series 2017 – Wednesdays
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 2017 – Wednesdays”
DNC Scolty – 8th Feb 2017 – Results
A slightly damp night, but the drizzle was light and didn’t realy penetrate the trees too badly. The forest was very wet underfoot, however – I’ve never seen the marshes so wet. Fortunately, the event was well over before a sharp snowstorm blew through about 9.45pm! The courses were very nice – thanks to MurrayContinue reading “DNC Scolty – 8th Feb 2017 – Results”

Balmedie – Sun 5th February 2017 – Results
We were taken by surprise a bit by a last-minute Saturday rush to pre-enter this event using the Early Email Entry system. We’d printed 85 maps based on early indications of the number of EEE’s. In the end, there were 97 runners. So well done everyone for getting up off the couch and coming alongContinue reading “Balmedie – Sun 5th February 2017 – Results”

Starry, starry night! Perfect for star-gazing and not so bad for orinteering, either! Although cold (+1 deg) there was almost no wind, and conditions were excellent for fast running.
