It may be called “virtual”, but there’s nothing virtual about the terrain, the exercise and the navigation … using your smartphone (or alternatively your Garmin smart watch), MapRun offers a new dimension of socially distanced orienteering while still giving a challenge. All you need to do is to load the free app, choose a course, get there and start!
If you’d like to try orienteering while socially distancing, then a permanent course might be just right for you. It enables you to follow a map and find the controls in your own time.
For those new to orienteering there is a new Orienteering Foundation video Permanent Orienteering Courses – Discover an Outdoor Adventure to give you an idea of what to expect.
Six gophers ran in the TVOC Chiltern Challenge at Christmas Common on 22nd March which was the last event in this year’s club championships. The results are below. There were some good runs but none that made a difference to the top positions. So, I am pleased to announce that once again:
The top man & overall Champion is Nick Green with 392.2 points
And the top lady is Helen Rivers with 368.7 points.
Very well done and congratulations to both of you!
