Training exercises
at JOG (Fox course)
The Fox course is a training exercise for seniors and juniors from those who are on the verge of trying Light Green at senior events and upwards. Depending on how much of a challenge you want to give your runners, there are all sorts of imaginative possibilities.
JOG at Wind Down
Another weather warning….another JOG pending!
Would it just be the superstitious that stayed away from such a poetically named venue in weather like Saturday's?
Young Wood JOG
Going down the tube?
For Saturday's Fox course, planner Tom Hasler has designed a special schematic London underground map of all the line features to present a greater challenge.
Stopping at Southgate, Forest Gate, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green and (earth) Bank...?
Lydeard Hill JOG
Red cheeked & wind blown
Thanks go to all those who ventured out and made the effort to plan etc worthwhile!
Map basics
Video explanations
A really good introduction as to what's shown on the map and how basic features are mapped is provided, in this pair of short videos courtesy of the Irish Orienteering Association

JOG at Wellington School
Back to school
The last Saturday of half term found JOG at Wellington School after a gap of about six years!
Several of our younger members took advantage of the relatively contained site to venture off on their own, well done to them.
Longrun JOG/CATI
The Come and Try It at Longrun Meadow was a great success with many QO members coming to help newcomers and set them on their way. Have a look at the photos on the Dropbox Link below: they speak for themselves!
New video
for beginners
Liked what you saw at Saturday's "Come and Try It" event at Longrun?
UK squad member Graham Gristwood presents this clear, straightforward, fast-paced video describing the basics for those curious about or keen to see more of the sport.
Come and try it!
At Longrun Meadow
Would you like to try the sport for the first time or perhaps once more? Or do you know someone who might? If so, you will be made very welcome at our event on Saturday (19th), based at French Weir Park, Taunton, adjacent to Longrun Meadow.
