Ellie selected for EYOC

Congratulations to Ellie Todhunter, who has been selected in the GB team for the European Youth Orienteering Championships at Brno, Czechia from 17-20 July 2025

Halton results

The dry, sunny weather continues, and this helped to make a great success of the first event in the new series. Graham's new map and Rowena's courses were appreciated by the mixture of experts, improvers and outright beginners present. Results are here, and RouteGadget is available here.

Summer Sprint Series

No sooner has our successful spring series finished with a bang and a picnic last Saturday, than our next series of events is taking shape. We have our usual sprint series starting on Tuesday evenings from May to July.  

The first event is next Tuesday May 6, the day after the bank holiday and it is taking place at Halton near Lancaster. Meet at the Greyhound pub there and starts for the prologue are between 6.30 and 7. You can choose to just do the prologue or the prologue and the final. And if you do choose to do both, you can decide whether to start the final in the chasing start or by yourself/in your group beforehand.

Food is available up until 8.45 if you wish to stay for this after the event.

Club picnic

 

Yarrow Valley Spring Series event

Over 60 orienteers joined us for the final instalment of the SROC spring series at Yarrow Valley in Chorley on a calm and muggy day.

Each of the courses took in a mixture of undulating trails, some carpeted in bluebells and wild garlic, denser woodland, and some open spaces around the Lower Burgh meadows.

SROC Club Successes at the 2025 JK in Yorkshire

Fantastic way to round off the JK in Yorkshire on Easter Monday, with a win for Heather, Lucie and Ciel in Women's Short relay. The previous day Ellie Todhunter won gold in W16, Fraser Dixon gold in M21L, with silvers for John Embrey M65, and David and Heather Roome in M40 and W40. Loads of other top 10 places too.

Best of all was the great cameraderie amongst all club members.

Eaves Wood

Today's Spring Series event in Eaves Wood attracted a high number of competitors, both experienced orienteers and relative beginners. Shame about the earlier-than-forecast rain. Results are available to view here, also RouteGadget.

Eaves Wood Spring Series event

The second Spring Series event is at Eaves Wood on Saturday 29th March. Final details are now available. On-line entries close on Friday evening.
