Jenny and Rhona selected for EYOC 2013
Congratulations to Jenny Ricketts and Rhona McMillan who have both been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Youth Orienteering Championships, being held in Foz do Arelho, Portugal from 23rd – 28th October 2013. Both throughly deserved their selections after a string of great results this year.

M14A 3rd: Jake Chapman
W16A 2nd: Jennifer Ricketts
W18L 1st: Rhona McMillan

Hopefully I haven’t missed anyone - apologies if I have!
Great results for Rhona at O-Ringen 2013
Rhona achieved a top 20 place overall (18th) in the D18 Elite category. This is despite a rather poor start to the week when she was 51st on day 1 but consistent performances thereafter delivered an excellent overall result. Rhona’s best result was In Thursday’s middle distance race where she was 7th, just 2:30 behind the winner (who incidentally won silver at JWOC this year).

MAROC at Jukola 2013

See how they get on by following the internet coverage (including live tracking and TV feed) at the WorldofO website.
Permanent Orienteering Courses
We are currently updating our permanent orienteering courses. Please go to the individual courses in the list below and check current status and access requirements.
Scottish Championships 2013
A lower than normal contingent of Maroc members made the long journey south into Galloway for the Scottish Champs recently but the level of successful results was not depleted. Perhaps it was the thought of another long
journey - the JK and the British Champs being in so far south this year - or exam fever but it must have been the lowest turnout at a Scottish Champs for some time.
