Calling all Juniors

Recognising and celebrating our juniors!

EckOCares update

We are now well into May and although we can get out more than once a day now, lockdown is set to continue so make the most of some options coming up - some need to be signed up to by today...

EckOCares

It's strange to think that a week ago as a club we would have been celebrating a very successful, sunny SOL2 at Coille Nathais. However, it was not to be. Life has changed dramatically for all of us but EckO hopes that all its members are well in body and mind. Life will return to a 'new normal' but when - nobody can predict. It is clear now that we should stay at home and only travel when essential. However, there are many things we can do to keep ourselves fit and active and hone our orienteering skills.

EckO introduces IntrO

Congratulations to all the participants, organisers and helpers who recently completed the SOA IntrO course.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

Have you remembered to renew your orienteering membership?

Improve your orienteering

Here is one good way to familiarise yourself with orienteering techniques and skills or improve your own orienteering in your own time and from the comfort of your own home.

Have a look at BASOC's (Badenoch and Strathspey Orienteering Club) article linking to ©Duncan Bayliss's Better Orienteering site.

The Great ECKO Deflab Run

Wet but fabulous - the run or the runners?

Ruari and Finlay go to Teviothead

The final SOL (Scottish Orienteering League) was held recently at Teviothead in the Borders. It's a beautiful part of the world but unfortunately the mist was down so it was difficult to appreciate the spectacular scenery.

SWAT SQUAD (Scottish West Area Training)

There has been an exciting development for juniors in the West of Scotland who are interested in improving their orienteering skills. Please read the information below and follow the links if your child/children are interested. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our junior co-ordinator Susannah Macmillan or any committee member through the EckO web site.
