Results and Report in the Spring O series page.
Entertainment … delivered.
“I’ve got a new favourite area!”
“Now that’s why I go orienteering!”
“Very, very fun.”
“Best event of the year.”
“Superb new map.”
“Will remain in my happy memories for years to come!”
It appears everyone enjoyed themselves, despite the rain. This is what I hoped for. This event was for fun in a bonkers, entertaining, tiny area – not to be taken too seriously.
We re-mapped, organised, planned and controlled all in the last three weeks so appreciate that nothing went wrong and all the generous comments of thanks.
Lots of you arrived, and ran, early – the impressive Claro team were ready for you.
Results are up. I would love to witness
your experience on RouteGadget and will watch each one avidly – it makes planning worthwhile to see if you did what I expected.
Ruth Ker, Planner
Claro are delighted to confirm that we will host a Middle Distance Regional Event on 25 November 2018 at Plumpton Rocks near Harrogate (not Ellington Banks as previously suggested due to access issues).
Claro extend many thanks to the owner of this amazing, natural playground, Robert Hunter, for his enthusiasm for our event. Robert has overseen extensive renovation to Plumpton Rocks over the last few years, so the area is in superb condition.
Map extensively updated by Quentin Harding, Planned by Ruth Ker, Organised by Richard Kirk and all Controlled by David Day.
Courses, all Middle Distance; Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Very Short Green, Short Green, Green, Short Blue and Blue. The area does not lend itself to a White course however the bold White competitor could tackle Yellow safely as the scope for disappearing is limited (it’s a bounded area with a large lake to go round).
There was plenty to debrief in the pub last night. Results are now available. Well done all. Results
Continuing the excellent series of Claro Lamp Os for winter 2018, this next one will be based at The Park (at the beginning of Hornbeam Park, Harrogate). Lots of parking available. Drinks and food in The Park afterwards. Meet 6.15 for 6.30 mass start.
The 1:5000 map ensures a clean-sweep will be achievable by all prepared to break into a sweat. For those who wish to remain fresh-smelling for the pub, the vast majority of controls will be in the Hornbeam Park area itself enabling lots of lamppost-bagging without undue effort.
Decent weather guaranteed. Bring a head torch, something to write with, a hi-viz garment and a mature companion if you are under 16.
We look forward to seeing you there. Ruth (Planner) and Tamsin (on-the-day Organiser)
The JK relays are held every year on Easter Monday, as the culmination of a weekend of high quality racing. This year we’re on Cannock Chase, which is a great area. Your club could really do with a few more runners to make up a variety of teams, especially Juniors…
Email Ruth, asap, please. secretary@claro-orienteering.org.uk
