Put all these dates in your diary now and plan to do some decent orienteering close to home.  Don’t expect massively difficult technical challenges but do expect to be moving faster than normal (winning times on the long course below 30 minutes?) and, as a consequence, thinking rather faster than normal (or if I’m anything to go by failing to think faster than normal).

This is the third year that Claro have put on these events. The success of these events in terms of attracting new people to the sport depends on the oxygen of publicity so drag your friends along (kicking and screaming), tell anyone who might be remotely interested, and generally promote the idea.
