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”

Hazelhead 25/05/16 – Results

An excellent start to this year’s summer series, helped no end by the delicious range of cakes provided by Team Griffin. The results are linked below, and will be included in the main summer series post in the Results column Sometimes it takes a little while to get things sorted … keep checking back forContinue reading “Hazelhead 25/05/16 – 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. Hope you all enjoyed these short courses although I think maybe we need to choose our areas with care for next year as some were not really that sprinty. And Balmedie wasn’t that foresty either IContinue reading “Forest Sprint Series 2016 Final Results”

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!). Some pretty fast times recorded and some more mature members keeping the young ones off the top slots forContinue reading “Forest Sprint Dunnottar Woods 27/4/16 – Results”

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

It was a beautiful, white forest waiting for the 3rd AUOCup event to begin in Glen Dye. All four categories had runners, which means that each category is now fully open, but it is still anyone’s cup to win! 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”

Forvie Night-O – Results 20/1/2016

Thanks to everyone for participating tonight.  Sorry I couldn’t make the printer work; results are linked below.  Such a good evening I couldn’t resist collecting in the controls.  Crossed the moor in the moonlight with my torch off watching a faint aurora just visible against the moonlight.  Nearly lost myself at one point when IContinue reading “Forvie Night-O – Results 20/1/2016”

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”

DNC Glen Dye Part 2 9/12/15 Results

A very wet but thankfully warm (OK – tepid) night and most folk got a real drooking half way round. It was still raining so much by the time Helen finished that she drove 20m to the Chillimobile rather than get her spare dry clothes wet! ***UPDATE***     Amended Results  Splits Control 172 was incorrectly placedContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Part 2 9/12/15 Results”

Tollohill – Post AGM Event – 6th Dec 2015

A lovely bright day for a great dash round Tollohill, thanks to Ali for the great courses. The place was positively peppered with controls. Well done to those who braved the ‘no paths’ option. We hope you enjoyed your runs. Results and Splits and Routegadget! A few takers for the iO – but not aContinue reading “Tollohill – Post AGM Event – 6th Dec 2015”

DNC Glen Dye Part 1 25/11/15 Results

Hot off the press – results (revised 26/11/15) and splits. Routegadget now loaded too. Interesting to see how you all coped with Pete’s long legs across those large areas of nothingness in a variety of different ways. Mine was to chicken out completely and refuse to run at all as my bearings are rubbish atContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Part 1 25/11/15 Results”

Shooting Greens Event, Sunday 15th November

Here are the Results and Split Times for the local event held on Sunday 15th November, at Shooting Greens, near Feughside. Enter your routes at our Routegadget2 website. I’m afraid it was all rather “mizzly” – misty and drizzly … orienteering in the clouds!  But fortunately it didn’t really rain and the complete lack ofContinue reading “Shooting Greens Event, Sunday 15th November”

Aberdeen Uni Urban Sprint 30/9/15

Wow! That was a blast! Never-ending route choices and plenty of twists and turns not to mention furkling in bushes and round the back of buildings in the dark towards the end. A big thank you to our guest planner, Janne, for cramming so much fun onto a piece of A4 paper. Funny how manyContinue reading “Aberdeen Uni Urban Sprint 30/9/15”

Urban Sprint Hillhead Campus 23/9/15 Results

Nice to see lots of new faces from AUOC. Bit of an in-at-the-deep end experience for some with 3km packed into the Hillhead area by using a double-sided map (although some old hands didn’t listen to that bit of the instructions…!) but some very good results none the less. That’s what young legs do forContinue reading “Urban Sprint Hillhead Campus 23/9/15 Results”

Results  Splits   Ranking points “That was quite good considering I don’t like pavements!” Another convert to urban/sprint orienteering?  Hope so. Thanks to Rachel Salway and her team for rescuing no 12 from a bin later on during the race. Better turn out than last year but still the least popular venue of the series andContinue reading “Urban Sprint Balgownie Wed 16/9/15”

Templars – 26/08/2015 – Results

Thank-you everyone for coming along and giving Poker-O a go. I know it all sounded a bit daunting at the start “what, no map?!”, but I think all those brave enough to try it enjoyed themselves. Maybe even found a few delicious raspberries en-route? The medium course was very short (long story) – but packedContinue reading “Templars – 26/08/2015 – Results”

Countesswells SS Results 13/8/15

Bit of a thin turn out again for Countesswells – folk still on hols? not recovered yet from 6 Days? We did host a training session for the Junior regional Orienteering Squad though who traveled over from Templars Park, where they are having a training camp, to go round the Long Tech with a trainingContinue reading “Countesswells SS Results 13/8/15”

Perwinnes Moss – 15/07/15 – Results

Results from the Perwinnes Moss. Those who weren’t there missed a glorious evening of sunshine (and fantastic views from NE corner). The newly updated map was a joy to use … but perhaps mid July is not the best time of year for an event here, given the height of undergrowth! Many thanks to Chris,Continue reading “Perwinnes Moss – 15/07/15 – Results”

Dunnottar Woods Summer Series 27/5/15 Results

Knees and shins stopped tingling yet from the stingers? I’m told nettles are good for osteo arthritis but don’t think it works in a preventative way unfortunately so unless you’re unlucky enough to already be suffering then last night’s exposure won’t have counted for anything – apart from hard-earned GAC points of course. Results TheContinue reading “Dunnottar Woods Summer Series 27/5/15 Results”

Tyrebagger Summer Series 20/5/15 Results

Round 2 of the GAC posed a bit more of a challenge with much rougher terrain and more intricate navigation required for some controls (“that tree!”) but, hey, that’s the whole point of the Challenge! Well done to all who got round and thanks to the walking wounded who helped collect controls, Bob Daly andContinue reading “Tyrebagger Summer Series 20/5/15 Results”

Scotly Forest Sprint 8/5/15 Results

Thanks to everyone who came to the event at Scolty on Friday.  The weather held fair and there was no mention of exit polls during the post event analysis.  Well done to  MAROC’s Jo Wright who narrowly beat AUOC’s flying Finn Janne Heikkinen.
