Triscombe
QOFL / SWOL
provisional results 11/10/26 here
Triscombe Stone leads on to steep open moorland allowing plenty of route choice and physical challenge. Unfortunately felling operations mean we have no access into the forest this time. But the hills were looking beautifully Autumnal.
Quantock Orienteers have elected a new chair!
On behalf of the club, we would like to offer thanks to Richard Sansbury for his dedication and commitment to the role of chairman over the last three years. Richard's hard work behind the scenes has ensured that the club has maintained momentum. He took on the role of chairman with integrity and enthusiasm and we can all agree that he has done a great job. We are grateful for everything that Richard has done and offer our sincere thanks. We welcome forward Simon as our new chair.

QO at the Lakes 5 Days
Some 21 or so Quantock Orienteers attended the Lakes 5 Days 2026 event. The lakes offer some of the most demanding terrain. The event is renowned for big hills, intricate contour detail, rough ground and the kind of long uphill walks to the start that have become stories in their own right. Across the week, QO runners (and walkers) performed relatively well, navigating some brutally technical areas but enjoying the team spirit that makes multi-day events so special.
Your club needs you!
Quantock Orienteers run a series of urban maprun events throughout the winter months, but these 'Street Series' events do not plan themselves. If you are interested in planning, or learning more about what is involved, please email website@quantockorienteers.co.uk. You will be eligible for free entry to another Street Series and you will get bonus points for the series ranking!
QO requires a new chair!
This Autumn Richard will have completed a three-year term in the lead role, and will be stepping down as QO chairman. So we are looking for someone new to take on the job.
QO at the British Sprint champs
On the last weekend in June the British Sprint Championships came to Bristol, and we were treated to a superb day of racing through a deserted student campus.
QO success at the Yvette Baker 2026!
Nine juniors travelled to Swansea Bay to represent Quantock Orienteers at the National Final of the Yvette Baker shield on Saturday 4th July. Everyone in the team did super well.
