Oake
SPunch
Thank you to everyone that joined us in Oake for a very well-planned course courtesy of Adam and Hazel. We hope that everyone had good runs and didn't get caught out by any of the tricky nav (the questionable hole in the hedge/ river crossing and golf course fairway footpaths come to mind!)
The provisional results are now on the website. If you had any issues with controls not registering, please send an email to website@quantockorienteers.co.uk with your problem controls listed and we will review.
QO at the British Sprint champs

QO at the girl guide activity day
On 27th June 2026 Roger, Judy Ray and Sue set up the orienteering maze as part of a Girl Guide activity day at Castle School. Groups of Guides, Brownies and Rangers enjoyed an introduction to the idea of orienteering and feedback from the girls and their leaders was very positive.

QO Forest League Results Out Now
With all five QOFL events in the 2025/26 series now complete, the winners of the elite and handicap leagues can now be revealed. Congratulations to the winners in all of the courses, in both the elite and handicap leagues, as well as all those who took part in any of the events. Please note, that due to low participation on this season's white course, no trophies will be awarded for the white course this season.
Thanks to Devon Orienteering Club for hosting QOFLs 4 and 5, and thank you to all the volunteers who made the QOFL events possible. For any queries about the results, please email scores@quantockorienteers.co.uk

QO qualify for the Yvette Baker Final
