Thank you to BASOC and GRAMP for their stellar work in hosting the recent Scottish Orienteering League (SOL) events which provided very different areas to test our skills. Results can be found on the Scottish Orienteering League page
Dunachton (BASOC)
This area provided a lovely mix of birch woodland, grazed farm land and open moorland with areas of intricate contour detail, crags and boulders, dense juniper and ruins to test our concentration. Despite being the weekend after the JK the organization was seamless. Thank you to the Organiser Janette MacLeod, Planner Jane Chisholm and Controller David Esson (GRAMP).
We tend to all have our aims when we enter events – we can’t all win, but often have aims like beating a clubmate or rival, finishing in less than a certain time, doing better than last time or simply just having fun in the outdoors. Preparing before the event and looking at how you performed after the event can help you to take stock and make it easier to reach goals in the future.
Scottish Orienteering are offering 2 free workshops to support participants attending the Scottish Orienteering Championships. The first will be held before the event to help you prepare and the second after the event to help you to objectively analyse how you performed.
Scottish Orienteering is proud to support Clean Sport Week (taking place this week – 11–17 May 2026), the annual awareness campaign led by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) that champions fair play, integrity and drug-free sport.
This year’s theme, ‘Built not bought. 100% me.’, celebrates athletes who achieve true, lasting success through hard work, talent and commitment. It sends a clear message: champions compete clean and don’t take shortcuts.
Following on the success of the Capture the Flag game at the Scottish Championships in Barry Buddon last year, we are organising a Junior Get Together and Games at the Scottish Championships at Grandtully again this year.
