SPunch
Thank you to everyone who made the journey out to Roadwater for a glorious evening of orienteering on Exmoor. A very special thanks must go to Paul and Sonia for putting on an excellent BBQ and for allowing us to use their estate grounds. I hope everyone managed to get a chance for a dip in the pond!
Provisional results are now live, but please submit any control correction requests directly to SPunch@quantockorienteers.co.uk and we will review the traces/ credit accordingly.
Our next event is next week in Lydeard St Lawrence. We hope to see you all there.

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
