Moravian Orienteers

Moravians went to the woods today...  (no bears)

Thanks to Fran Britain (planner) and Kaisa Oikkonen (organiser) for a great Moravian Saturday League event. Despite some COVID restrictions it seemed like the old days (BC?). Thanks to Ian & Rosie (Download & Results) we had live results on the website during the event, and not printing splits meant we didn't need a generator for mains power. It was great to see everyone out enjoying themselves - helped by the kind weather.

Fran's courses tested our O techniques  with as well as our fitness. The extensive path network in Sanquhar would normally simplify legs however the planning made sure you had lots of route choice.

More than 15 enthusiastic Moravians enjoyed a club
coaching session in Aldroughty Woods on Saturday
morning, 8th January.  The activity was planned by our
lead club coach, Elizabeth Furness, ably assisted by
Paul Furness.  For a full report of the activity see next
Tuesday's newsletter. Meanwhile, the attached image
shows one of the challenges we were set.  No paths!

Entries are now open for our next event at Sanquhar Woods on 15th January. Entries close on Wednesday 12th. We need volunteers to help with the event, please contact Kaisa (amazingdogra(@)hotmail.com) by email (remove the brackets!) if you can assist. All of the usual local event tasks will be required.
