Can't use Ripley so Come to Caton

Unfortunately our Ripley sessions are temporarily suspended while mock examinations take place in their sports hall. Fortunately a new venue in Caton has been found that will enable the sessions to continue on the same day and at the same time. However the sports hall is not as large, so to start with we will only run a circuits session but in time some O elements may be introduced. Sessions at Caton start 6:30pm next Tuesday 16th December at Caton County Primary School, Broadacre, Caton. Click here for a Google map to show you where.

Blackpool Tower Trophy won by Karen Nash!

The prestigious Blackpool Tower Trophy, awarded at a nominated event close to Blackpool once each Street League season, has been won by Karen Nash who scored at the highest rate (points per hour) when adjusted for age. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trophy as once you have won it you are automatically excluded from all future times that it is contested. Results for the Thornton event are here.

White Coppice Night Event 6th December - results

A beautiful moonlit night was enjoyed by a record number of night orienteers at White Coppice (Brinscall), some of them on their first ever night event. Some found the open area a bit tougher than expected, but the course lengths had been kept short to compensate for this, and winning times were as expected. Results can be viewed here. RouteGadget will follow after the day event.

Latest Street League positions

Scores in the gross and age adjusted tables have been updated and can be viewed here. John Britton has a good lead in the gross table but Karen Nash is closing on him rapidly in the age adjusted league. The next event, number five from ten, is at Thornton on 10th December, when the prestigious Blackpool Tower Trophy will be contested.

White Coppice events 6th & 7th December

Not content with providing training on Saturday (see below) we have two more events to offer this coming weekend, both on the area known as White Coppice, at Brinscall near Chorley. The Saturday evening event has a choice of three courses, suiting most standards except perhaps raw novices. For this event you will need a good head torch as it is part of the North West Night League. Sunday's event offers a range of courses from White to Brown, covering all standards. The day and night courses are all different, so you can run competitively in both. Final details for Sunday have now been added to the fixtures page, and please note that the parking areas are different for the two events. More details on the fixtures page.
