Thanks Niall, for an interesting twist on a Norwegian event.
At the start (and each control), there was a map for each course, showing only the next control, but the twist was that there were 2 or 3 options (1a, 1b, 1c) with a multiple choice question and the correct answer was the actual control. So if you knew that the answer was b you just had to remember where b was and how to get there (you didn’t get a map to keep).

Members leaflet updated

I have updated the leaflet and sent it to the printers for 2000 copies. The aim is to distribute them around the area to stimulate new participants and also to give them out at events. It explains what to do at an orienteering event and provides information about EckO.

You can download a copy of the leaflet as a PDF to see it, but if you would like copies to give out then contact Paul.

New Year Deflab Fun Run 2010

The (now) annual New Year deflab fun run took place on Sunday 3rd January 2010. The format and location was meant to be the same as last year, but the icy weather put paid to part of that! John Anderson reported that the road up to the Nature Reserve at Taynish was impassible but he suggested an alternative.

British Schools Orienteering Championships, 2009

British Schools Orienteering Championships, 2009

These were held near Newcastle at Druridge Country Park on the 22nd November. It was a great weekend with training on the Saturday afternoon, a social on the Saturday evening and then the competition itself on the Sunday. Like all orienteering events it was really well organised with a games tent for the children while they were waiting and the opportunity to speak to some of the British team who were answering questions and signing autographs.
