Unlike previous years, we are trying our luck in 2025 with having our coastal weekend in the Fall.

Read MoreThe day of the event proved to be a glorious sunny day with ideal weather for orienteering. Whilst the fall of leaves left some paths less visible, and wiped out one area of ground vegetation that was going to be used for a control, the forest gave some great orienteering experiences with a mixture of […]
