The 2022 Scottish Orienteering Championships are being held on Royal Deeside on May 28th/29th.
Saturday's individual races, organised by Grampian Orienteers, are to be held at Glen Dye, and the following day MAROC will be hosting the Relays at Sluie.
Major orienteering events have been held on both areas in the past, and whilst recent storms have taken their toll, it should be an excellent weekend of competition.
