“On the second day of Christmas, MAROC gave to me,
The Pudding Shaker run, around the Glen O’Dee”

Many thanks to the 88 runners who came along to Glen O’Dee today to take part in the Pudding Shaker. Hopefully you enjoyed the event and the ‘challenges’ were not too demanding – judging by the results, many managed to count and run at the same time! The weather was very kind to us – still a bit boggy underfoot, but that didn’t appear to deter anyone.”

Explanation of colour courses

  • White are very easy with all controls on paths. They are mainly used by 6-10 year olds and family groups.
  • Yellow use simple linear features like paths, walls and streams. They are mainly used by under 12’s and family groups.
  • Orange progress to basic use of the compass and route choice. They are ideal for novice adults or experienced youngsters.
  • Light Green are ideal for improvers as the navigational difficulty begins to increase and uses simple contours and point features.
  • Green are used mostly by experienced under 18’s and adults wanting a short but challenging course with a very hard navigational difficulty.
  • Blue are a longer, more physically demanding course in comparison to the green. The distances are more varied between controls and the course attracts experienced orienteers.
  • Brown & Black are very physically demanding and have a very hard navigational difficulty. They are for experienced orienteers only.
  • Score means visiting as many controls as possible in any order in a specific time, like 45mins.
