New Lockdown Challenge

Can the club run Land's End to John O'Groats?

This Lockdown, QO is taking on a challenge. As a club, we want to run Land’s End to John O’Groats. Well, virtually, anyway. We’ll add up all your runs during daily exercise, be that a visit to a permanent orienteering course in your local area, a quick trip to the shops and back, or laps of your garden.

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas from Quantock Orienteers. Hope you got all sorts of nice orienteering-related presents.

Some families have been sending in photos of children wearing club snoods...

JOG Spring 2021

As we are now in Lockdown, we are unable to arrange events. However, we are able to provide additional permanent orienteering courses. We'll be providing them in the normal JOG courses - Hare, Squirrel, Badger, and Fox. As they become available, they will appear on our POC page.

Permanent Orienteering Courses

Uncrossable Boundaries

The recent Longrun JOG threw up a point about uncrossable boundaries. As so many were caught out by this, and earned a time penalty as a result, I thought it would be sensible to highlight this. In a more serious competition, disqualification would be the likely result of an infringment.

Supporting Mental Health

Although these tips are aimed at young athletes in training programmes, many parts of the advice apply to us all.

Organisers Conference

SWOA will be holding a virtual conference on 23 January 2021 for event organisers to discuss ways to conduct events within the letter and spirit of the British Orienteering guidance.
