Willett Hill JOG
This small but perfectly formed hilltop wood is still a relatively new area for orienteering and plenty people came and tried it out.

Chairman's Challenge
Junior Parkrun
Here are some photos of our new chairman’s Junior Parkrun Challenge. Or perhaps that should be the Smartie Challenge after the chocolates that were on offer. As with the senior Parkrun the previous day, there were some personal bests achieved.

Check out who's been giving themselves a sneaky headstart before the season gets going! Here is your round up of results and events for September to date, as some of the keenest get back to action after only the shortest of summer breaks.
President's Challenge
Several PB's at Parkrun
Was it the lure of the wine that did it? About 10 turned up for our President's Challenge, with several registering PB's (personal bests). All the more amazing when you consider our contestants between them had hundreds of Parkruns under their belts.

Prizes will be awarded for the top senior and top junior.
There's just a couple of catches...
Four Days of Limburg
Dutch/Belgian tournament
Seasoned O travellers Andy Rimes and Rosie Wych saught out fresh terrain in the Low Countries...and of course the chance to add another souvenir O top to their collections.
Amazingly, the intriguing series of inland dune areas over there might not be used again - Andy and Rosie report.
Indoor O
Bradford Grammar School
A format that's big in Scandanavia and most obviously of use when there's a whiteout in the forests! Pete and Jacob Shirvington and Martin Lewis tried it out during their grand O tour of Yorkshire. Pete reports.
Scottish 6 Days
