Further afield & abroad
Almost guaranteed weather & sun tan, plenty of choice on courses, free-flowing wine and cheap entries- orienteering further south has its attractions! This year's O France festival is in the Provence/Alps region from 7 - 12 July. Entries close on Thursday 20 June.
SW Middle Distance Champs
Braunton Burrows
The club has five new middle distance champions, after some thrilling races round the awesome dune system on the north Devon coast on Sunday. Congratulations to Annabelle Lewis, Jacob Shirvington, Paul Chavasse, Steve Robertson and Rosie Wych.
SW League 2018/19
Review
Congratulations to Bill Vigar on winning the Short Green course at this season's "Galoppen" series.
Tony Hext and Angela Modica were 2nd and 3rd on Green and Oliver Lewis 3rd on Yellow.
Pete Shirvington was top QO overall, finishing 6th on Brown
Wavering Galoppen
Fitting finale to season
A fabulous day was had up on the Mendips in very fine weather. Winscombe's busy cricket/sports ground provided a vibrant base, with cake and clothes stalls and a BBQ. Nice luxuries to help the 20 QO's recover from physical courses and a long walk to the start/finish.
Blackborough preview
League analysis
Who's in the running for the trophies?
The last QOFL at Staple Hill saw a lot of runners improve their position. Only one league has been won so far, so make sure you're in it if you want to win it at Blackborough
Round up
Events & other news
Another North Gloucester event, another steep sloped hill! At least the Lewises had good training for the Wrekin at Springtime in Shropshire by venturing up to Leckhampton on Saturday (11 May).

Rushmore Galoppen
South West League
With the best in the South West distracted by the British Orienteering Champs in Yorkshire, there was a good chance for the rest to gain extra points at Rushmore on Sunday. Pete Shirvington and Bill Vigar in particular each took full advantage.

Where next?
Though we only have one more event left this season (at Blackborough on Sat 18 May), there's still lots of action over the next two months, listed below.
These include events very nearby in Devon, on the Mendips and also Dorset.

Fore! The day before our Staple Hill event (Saturday 13) was a chance to run on Cleeve Hill on the Cotswolds, where runners weaved around the fairways during a golf competition being held at the same time.
