CompassSport Cup 2012

The CompassSport Cup is an annual event, which will be at Faskally (a fun little map near Pitlochry) on 19th Feb. Clubs compete against each other in area qualifying rounds; the top clubs then go forward tot he national finals. This is the Scottish round.  The leaders will go through to the final which this year will be in the borders, so doable for us if we qualify.  My understanding is that up to 4 of 9 of the smaller clubs from Scotland will go through, though it’s all a bit complicated, but we’re in with a shout!

It’s good to see the hard work they have both put in is recognised by others. The extra support that being in the squad offers should help them progress faster in the coming year.

The Event that Almost Never Was

I like Sutherland’s Grove. Yes, there are some horrendous bits of jungle, the river can only be crossed (orienteering-wise) at three points, many of us are on first name terms with some of the boulders and there is really only one feasible starting area. But there are some interesting parts, some unmapped.
