We had a wonderful, sunny Spring day for the last JOG of the season at Blackbrook, primroses and blossom to be seen everywhere!
JOG Spring term
Review
Below is an index of all the Spring term events, with links to reviews and photographs.
If you'd like to continue orienteering over the next six months, here's a link to some suggested fixtures
River Dart Country Park
Day out in Devon
Do event bases get any better? Beautiful grounds with all the facilities you could want in a compact area, on a sunny spring day. Seventeen made the trip and some of the QO results were as eye catching as the activity park's vibrant riverside attractions.
Young Wood JOG
Review
Tom Hasler planned some interesting courses, the highlight being the Fox exercise using an Underground-style diagram for the map. Thanks to everyone who helped collect in controls, it was good to see so many children helping!

Membership
join up or renew for 2019
A condition of entry to any orienteering event is that you join a recognised orienteering club, after your first three runs. Our event insurance cover depends on this. Please remember your club membership is for calendar years, not orienteering seasons and renew if you haven't done so already.
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...?
