2024 Scottish Orienteering League gets off to a great start in the oak woodlands of Kintyre

Masterplan Adventure hosted the first Scottish Orienteering League (SOL) event of 2024 as part of their Scottish Spring Weekend. The weekend saw over 200 hardy souls test themselves against the delights of the Kintyre terrain. Masterplan Adventure provided the opportunity on Saturday for everyone to pit themselves against the knolls, boulders and crags of Torinturk for a middle distance event followed by an ultra sprint round Tarbert before the sun shone on the oak forest of Corranbuie on Sunday for the longer distance of the SOL. Sunday’s event was also the third event in the Scottish Inter-Club Championship.

Can you help lost equipment find its way home?

Orienteering relies on our volunteers as you have heard us say many times. We are always grateful for their help but sometimes people might not be sure how or where to return things or if time is short think they will do it next time and it gets left in a corner. We have all been there.

So in that vein we are putting out a shout for two types of items that may be lurking in your house and asking that you get in touch so we can make sure they find their way home – GPS vests and a timing clock.

You will see below pictures of the items in question and, if you for any reason have one, can you please email nikki@scottish-orienteering.org so we can help it be returned.

10 GPS vests labelled SOA 5,6 and 15 (XS), 25 (S), 32,36,38 and 39 (M) and 48, 49 (L) are currently missing

Scottish Elite and Development Squad improving skills in Spain

The Scottish Elite and Development Squad (SEDS) is an initiative designed to help orienteers in their 20s and beyond to stay in the sport.

SEDS arranges for groups to take part in major events and training. In the middle of February, sixteen orienteers – paying their own way – travelled to Burgohondo, two hours west of Madrid, for a warm weather training camp.

The week in Spain ended with the four-day Maximus O Meeting (MOM) event.

The MOM is a huge and important event with a top field from across Europe. There were 85 in the Women’s Elite and 220 in the Men’s Elite, which had to be split in two to cope with the numbers.
