Welcome to Berkshire Orienteers


Bloom Wood thanks from Organiser and Controllers comments

Bloom Wood in bloom

Bloom Wood was in tip top form today. Thanks to Stefan for planning the courses through the most runnable areas. The woods were also living up to their name with fabulous displays of bluebells in some areas. The photo shows one of the areas made out of bounds to avoid the flowers. Thanks to the many helpers who made the day run smoothly. Looking forwards to seeing those of you who tried out orienteering for the first time today at future events. John Methven (Organiser).
