Autumn Series event 2, Eaves Wood

A good turnout of orienteers of all ages and experience enjoyed some challenging courses at the surprisingly technical Eaves Wood near Silverdale. Results and RouteGadget are now on-line.

SROC Night Street Series

Wednesday night saw the start of the 2023/24 winter series in rather blustery conditions. Fortunately whilst it was very windy on the open areas near to the beach I am assured that in the streets it was calmer. The results for the event can be found here, and RouteGadget here. if you have any queries about your score then please get in touch with me. This event is also for the Tower Trophy, it can only be won once and competitors' points are adjusted in terms of age and gender by using the special multiplier. As a result of that the provisional winner of this series' Tower Trophy is Vladislav Zavjalov, so many congratulations to him.

A big thank you to all those whose took part and a reminder that the next event on 1st November in Ashton is for the Guild Trophy -  details are on the website.
