Happy World Orienteering Day everyone! This international initiative was targeted at children (see http://worldorienteeringday.com/) and we are grateful to St Andrew’s School in Pangbourne for agreeing to put on an event to mark the occasion. Last weekend a group of club members travelled to Cambridge on Saturday for a pair of sprint races. Much further away, BKO had 2 members at the Scottish League event on Sunday at Glen Affric, to the SW of Inverness. And Martin Wilson was at them both!
