Thanks to Jonathan for a great start to the series with fabulous weather too. Great to see so many new and old faces. Thanks for coming, and spread the word! Some close results on the easy course – Duncan and Olivia only a few seconds apart they will need to pat close attention in theContinue reading “Foggieton SS 13/5/15 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”

Despite the midges and light rain coming and going ,I have rarely seen so many smiling faces at the end of a tough orienteering event. It makes the job of planning so much more pleasant. Thanks to Helen A for her condes skills and to David Kirk, Lachlan and Paul ,and Helen R and KeithContinue reading “Bennachie SS 20/08/14 Results”

Many thanks to Ian H for stepping in to run the Perwinnes Moss event, especially on such a soggy day. Well done to all those that made it. Results Two more Summer Series events – Bennachie and Templars (with BBQ) – last chances for juniors to upgrade their attendance award and for everyone to getContinue reading “Perwinnes SS 13/8/14 Results”

Better late than never…  Results (I enjoyed my run round Scolty but couldn’t help feeling there was something missing from Paul’s courses…..? Something to cool the feet and keep the midges off if applied liberally….? Boggy bits, that’s it, boggy bits!) Summer Series Junior Attendance Awards The more events you attend, the higher the awardContinue reading “Scolty SS 30/7/14 Results”

Thanks to Helen R and Adrian for plugging the gap in the organisers’ rota for Mulloch between them. Shame a few more folk didn’t make it across to Deeside as despite the weather forecasts it wasn’t such a wet evening in the end (and when it did rain it was warm rain.) Results In caseContinue reading “Mulloch SS 6/8/14 Results”

George tells me it was a pleasant evening, without the oppressive heat some people had suffered. Sunshine would have been nice but you can’t have everything! Results attached with an explanation of the Score-like twist. Did it focus the mind and make folk run a bit faster than normal I wonder? Congrats to those whippetsContinue reading “Tollohill SS 23/7/14 Results”

Thanks to the 20 brave souls who raced around the grounds of Haddo Country Park during an electrical storm.  Calum McLeod was so quick he didn’t get wet, everyone else was drookit.  George was pleased that a well-timed lightning flash illuminated his map in gloomy conditions! Typically it was bright sun by the time weContinue reading “A real sockwringer @ Haddo House 16/7/14 – Results”

Results from last night hot off the press for you. If you weren’t there you missed a beautiful evening, scampering up and down blaeberry studded slopes and paddling through crystal clear burns, trying to spot the next control silhouetted in the shafts of sunlight streaming between the pines. It really was idyllic – just wishContinue reading “Glen Dye SS 9/7/14 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”

Well done to all those who braved the wild wet woods of Foggieton last Wednesday. Hands up who knew how big that hidden quarry was before hand! Results Next event at Dunnottar Woods, Stonehaven

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”

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”

Well done to all the brave souls who had a go at the Map Memory. It was quite testing, especially the long leg across the valley, and would have been made easier if you were familiar with the area but most of you were not! We had 66 entries – a few more competitors thanContinue reading “Tyrebagger 14/5/14 Summer Series Results”
