Saturday's individual races, organised by Grampian Orienteers, were held at Glen Dye, and the following day MAROC hosted the Relays at Sluie.
Major orienteering events have been held on both areas in the past, and whilst recent storms had taken their toll, it was an excellent weekend of competition.
