Hilly mix of plantation, natural pine/birch woodland, heather and fast open moor. Generally good visibility, with interesting contour and rock detail.

Here are the JD2C standings after the event at Balmedie on 7th July.

A free orienteering taster session for children in school years P5-7 will be held in Aboyne on Thu 29th Aug 3:45-4:45, meeting at the Community Centre.
We will be organising a further block of coached orienteering sessions after the summer holidays, aimed at family participation. The sessions will be suitable for families with at least one child age 8 or older. It will be possible to sign up and Pay As You Go for individual sessions, or alternatively sign up for the full block of 4 sessions and receive FREE Club Membership for all the family until Dec 2020.
The "MapRun" app allows you to set up and take part in "Virtual" orienteering courses using your smartphone. You run a course using either the map on your phone screen or a paper version, and your phone will automatically beep when you reach the correct location of each control (nothing marking it on the ground). At the end of the course your results and split times can be saved into a results table alongside others who have run the course.
There are now 15 MapRun courses available (25 Sep 2018) in the Deeside area which you can use as you wish for family recreation or personal training.
