JOG review
Spring season
Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, the JOG season has now ended. The brand new venue for orienteering Combe Wood we had lined up for the final Saturday will now hopefully get an outing at a future date!
Compass Sport Cup
Club away day
The novelty of hiring a luxury coach that doubled up as a changing room, warm up area and entertainment lounge was amongst the highlights of this fun club away day. Many folks ran in a different course class than usual but the results were still good.
Roughmoor JOG
This is a flood plain and it lived up to its name with water over the ankles to the first control on some courses, however, as orienteers know, once your feet are wet nothing afterwards is a problem.

New Forest event
SW League
Oliver Lewis was QO's star of the day at Blackwater where he beat 14 others to win the Orange course. Al Hemmings won the White. On an unexpectedly lovely bright, dry day, about 15 QO enjoyed this runnable mixture of wood and heathland.

Spinney JOG/ social
It started with a flurry of snow which gave way to sunshine. Then JOG as usual before heading indoors for a course planning workshop, social and a curry at the end. What a busy day!
Beat The Trail
Reviewed
We've now had two BTT's, which have attracted a mixture of trail runners and orienteers. So how has the new format gone down so far? Thanks to the following report from Devon OC's Martin Yeo, who has run both BTT's to date.

There are some clear leaders on some courses, but still enough time for those with at least one strong run behind them to catch those people up.
