Rewards for a long trip
17 Droobers made the long trip down to Holmbush Woods for the British Middle Distance Champs at Holbush last weekend. The journey was well worth it because there was a good haul of podium places in what was a quite testing event. There was quite a bit of debate about the length of some of the courses in some age groups, lots of comments about the map and mapping and the need to clamber over a fence to reach the final control was very questionable, to say the least, for some of the older age groups. Then again, when do we orienteers never comment about such things?
Congratulations to all our competitors with a special mention to the 5 podium placements with Kirsten Strain, Juliette Soulard, Sheila Carey and Alistair Landels making the top step in first position with Anne Straube coming in second. Great results
We are heading into major event season and these results will hopefully lead to more at the JK and and the other events. Speaking of the JK, it would also be great to get some good relay results to add to individual success so contact David Lawson to join one of the teams.
