Tottington Street O tonight

Street-O tonight is ON

Paul and I have been for a run around the area this lunchtime and decided we are OK to go ahead. 

Most pavements and footpaths have a thin covering of powder snow which offers good traction. There are some small patches of ice on some of the more minor roads but these are avoidable.  All of the main roads are fine.

Obviously everyone will need to exercise a little more caution than usual but we are good to go ahead. Though not essential, we'd recommend wearing trail shoes to give a bit more grip. Please pass on this advice to anyone who might not see this post. 

See you tonight. Matt Driver

Buckshaw street league event

RouteGadget for yesterday's Night Street League event in Buckshaw Village is now available. Results may be viewed here.

Club Handicap 2023

The annual handicap race will be held on Saturday 4th February in Knots Wood, near Lancaster. The handicap (allegedly) gives anyone an equal chance of taking home the trophy, so it's a race for all club members! Afterwards there will be a social gathering at the Victoria Institute in Caton, with a presentation of trophies based on performances over the last year. Please bring a contribution to the Jacob's join meal.  Entry is free but do please register on Eventbrite to make sure we have a map for you. More details via the Fixtures page.

Night Street League resumes

After a break for the festive season the popular night street league returns tomorrow, Wednesday 4th January in the highly complex Buckshaw Village. Details here.

What a Cracker!

The New Year Cracker returned to more normal terrain today as over 140 orienteers gathered for the mass start in Low Park Wood, near Kendal. There were many compliments paid to Simonas Sakalauskas's courses, a choice of a classic score or the more fiendish Fours, Fives and Sixes. Nobody managed to collect all the controls on either course within the 45 minute time limit, despite some valliant attempts. Congratulations to Matt Rooke and Cate Matthew, first male and female on the complex course, while Max Wilkinson and Rachel Platt were the first placed on the classic. Full results are on-line here, and RouteGadget is available here.
