Coaching/Training
Personal Performance Day
Saturday 3 March 2007, Faskally Woods, Pitlochry
This coaching day was very well attended, with enthusiastic orienteers of all ages attending from a wide area. Faskally is a delightful area for orienteering, with varied terrain and features all within a compact area of forest, readily accessible from the main road, so it was an ideal choice for a coaching area.
