Thurlbear JOG
As you can see from the photos, there was plenty of water and mud but Karen had put a lot of thought into the planning and everyone came back satisfied that they had been challenged....especially those on the Fox.
November Classic weekend
Oliver Lewis and Pete Shirvington had fine runs at Sunday's classic in the New Forest. With some running in the urban and night events on the preceding days, QO had a good representation in Hampshire and Sussex.
Results - Bramshaw (Classic), Chichester (urban)
Neroche JOG
Strong gusts of wind and rain swept across the SW throughout the night before and the morning of the Castle Neroche JOG.
A glance at the photos will tell you that we got drenched but still had a great time.
Coming up

Whitchurch Common
SW League season begins
Despite the rainy start to the day, 22 QO headed to the opening race of the new SW League season, up on Dartmoor. They were rewarded with a great event, some good runs and sunshine which made hanging around afterwards a pleasure.
Henlade Hill JOG
Ray and Sue Toomer certainly made the most of Henlade Hill small venue though it is, with a variety of interesting courses.
We had another great turn out which was surprising as the weather forecast was not grand.

Netherclay JOG
One of the courses had some senior orienteers well and truly 'foxed' this week...for planner Jenny West presented them with a blank map with bearings but very little else to go on!
A great exercise for anyone who's ever tried it, even in an area you think you know well.
