Regular Orienteering Map Programme (ROMP)
The "summer" ROMPs (seasonal orienteering courses) have now been removed from Loch Vaa and Glenmore Lodge area. It is proposed that a "winter" ROMP is established from the middle of December through to the end of March - details to be determined. Thank you to everyone who made use of the opportunity to train in some fine terrain and scenery.
