Somehow the weather held fair for our picnic and in the space of two hours we ran an orienteering event, held the junior league series prize giving, had a picnic and played a game of rounders.
Well done to all who took part, here are the Results of the orienteering. The results of eating all that food and the outcome of the rounders match will remain unpublished. Quentin
Well, of course, the weather was nothing like as bad as predicted! The Spring-O event intended for June 12th will now take place on July 3rd – note that’s just one week after the event at Harlow Hill.

Thanks to all Claros who helped at the British Champs, the team here was the second start shift on Sunday after closing the starts.
As well as helping, some great competition results: with Gold medals, Bronze medals and a couple of UK Orienteering League podiums to boot… Congratulations to all and especially to Matthew Rochester, Lois Parker (and Matthew Hall), Quentin Harding, Matthew Rochester (again), Will Drewe and Ruth Ker.
Claro were delighted to invite you to enjoy Plumpton Rocks in the spring, complete with a carpet of bluebells.
Results and Report in the Spring O series page.
Entertainment … delivered.
We were blessed with cool but dry conditions on Sunday. Dob Park wood was the driest we have ever used it, along with the vegetation still being down, great conditions. Favourable comments received thanks, one of which from a Green course competitor “sustained technical difficulty which we rarely see around here”. We had more competitors than ever attended at Dob Park, maybe we underestimated the attraction of the Snowden Crags extension, but in any case our apologies to those who had to wait for recycled maps.
Coming soon:
The first of our Wednesday evening Spring-O series is this Wednesday 17th April, using partial SI.
