Events & training round up
Weekend of 25/26 March
Nine QO & JOG members headed down to River Dart Country Park on a warm and pleasant Sunday to tackle this steep sided wood grafted onto landscaped parkland. The previous day at JOG on Henlade Hill, seniors and older juniors were treated to a memory map exercise.
JOG at Henlade Woods
Action from last event of season
The course planners Graham and Brian Pearson made us work up a sweat in warm early spring weather this Saturday, taking us some of us round this lovely little wood once, twice or three times depending on which course you were running
Club Night
Mapping and use of GPS
At our latest club night on Thursday (23rd), we focussed on mapping and using GPS. Andy Rimes and Jim Mallinson gave an overview of the surveying and mapping process and the associated challenges, showed as the tools we have at our disposal as a club and took questions from the floor.
Chairman’s Chat
March 2017
Our chairman Roger Craddock reports on the latest developments within the club, covering communications, mapping, coaching, safety and competitions. It's been a very busy season for the club both event wise and behind the scenes!
Events round-up
Weekend of 18/19 March
The National Arboretum is ablaze with autumn colours one season. The next it's ablaze with the gaudy nylon sported by gurning orienteers, zipping up and down the tracks there. Several members travelled up to Gloucestershire to take part. Closer to home, we had training at Crowcombe Heathfield.
JOG at Crowcombe Heathfield
Full steam ahead
The penultimate junior event of the season saw us at an established forest league venue overlooked by the Quantocks. The tooting steam trains arriving and departing from the vintage station nearby always lends something to the atmosphere...full steam ahead, JOGgers!
Juniors at Compass Sport Trophy
Good results in Dorset
Several of our juniors put in excellent performances at the Compass Sport Trophy at Moors Valley Country Park, near Ringwood on Sunday 12 March. We also had a good number of younger juniors doing well in the White and Yellow courses.
JOG at Ash Priors Common
Surprisingly challenging area
We had a fine spring day to enjoy a relatively new area which offers a nice contrast to our other JOG venues. It's strangely reminiscent of the New Forest, the terrain is relatively flat with a patchwork of woodland and large clearings, bisected by minor roads and streams.
Mystery Buddy
Roughly a fortnight ago, an eager buddy filled out the online form on buddying. We were glad he was interested. However, he unfortunately left the question regarding who he was blank, so we don’t know how to contact him
Events & training review
Weekend of 4/5 March
A fabulous weekend of orienteering was on offer, with members heading off at all points of the compass. Close to home on Saturday was training at the ever lovely Fyne Court. Meanwhile, seven of us hit the warrens and sand dunes of South Wales for the weekend and others headed east to Font Hill.
JOG at Fyne Court
Jim Nickolls planned some excellent courses around the lovely grounds of Fyne Court, which was looking at it's best, with clumps of stunning snowdrops and anemonies in flower. We were lucky with the weather, the sun managing to shine now and then!
