EckO has a beautiful new shed

New Shed 1

Over the summer, EckO member Jim Mailer, ably assisted by his band of trusty helpers Diane, Logan and Bill built EckO a beautiful shed to safely store all the orienteering equipment which has been living in various garages and sheds for the past year or so due to the very dilapidated nature of the old shed. Jim has done an excellent job ensuring that all the equipment will be looked after for many years to come. The shed in all its glory can be viewed behind the Sports Pavilion in Taynuilt. Huge thank you to Jim, Diane, Logan and Bill. Also, thank you to LiveArgyll for a funding contribution.

Lagganlia1

For 1 week this summer holiday I have been at an orienteering camp that has been the most impactful thing I have done in this sport. The camp that I went too was called Lagganlia, near Aviemore, and it has changed how I orienteer.

EckO and the Itera Adventure Race - volunteers needed

Adventure Oban are partnering with Loch Eck Orienteers and Oban Canoe Club to bring the ITERA Expedition Race to Oban. This is a mind-boggling challenge that sees over 50 teams of 4 from all over the world take part in 500km of non-stop racing on foot, bike and kayak across the West Highlands. In particular, Oban Adventure is helping out ECKO as we look after an orienteering stage near Inverawe from Thursday 18th August at 2am until Friday 19th August at 3am.

We need all the volunteers we can get to help staff the start and finish section of the stage. You don’t need any orienteering experience and we’re grateful for any time you can offer, even if it’s just an hour.

If you can help, send an email to hello@adventureoban.org and Adventure Oban will take it from there.
