Enjoy a weekend of orienteering in the hinterland of the beautiful Culm Valley. After our day and evening outings at Culm Davy, head 20 miles downstream alongside the Culm Valley on Sunday morning and you'll find a Devon league event at Ashclyst Forest.
With the Devon event almost as near for most people as Blackborough (our venue for QOFL2), this event represents an excellent chance for those who haven't done so already to sample the sport outside our club's area.
For those who like a challenge, why not get in training for the multi-day events later this year with Quantock and Devon's purely unintentional* weekend of orienteering? There's no better opportunity locally to test whether your body is up to the rigours of an orienteering festival.
There is already a QO connection at Ashclyst as Will Kromhaut has planned a full range of colour coded courses, as well as remapping old terrain last used at the very first Caddihoe Chase. From the pictures, it looks nice and runnable.
