Heronhill event 14/12/24
Results are HERE
Thanks to John for Organising/Planning which included putting the controls out twice due to the orginal date being cancelled.
Planner’s Report:
I hope you all enjoyed your run round Target Hill (so named as it was used by the Homeguard during the war for target practice) and the Miller’s Knowes (the miller from Hawick Corn Mill had the grazing rights here). The weather was certainly a big improvement from last Saturday – although it was a lot sunnier earlier in the morning when I was waking up the controls. Target hill is where I graze my cows and calves for the summer, so I obviously know the area very well and my aim was to take you to all the nice bits. I also tried to spread the controls so that there wasn’t an obvious best route. Standing watching competitors running across the face of the hill in all different directions and from comments afterwards I think I achieved that. I always knew that it would be possible to get all the controls within the time limit, so it was essential to minimise the distance run and to minimise the climbing involved. I have attached a map showing what I think is the optimum route – you may beg to differ !

Gala Hill Results 14th September ’24
Thanks all for coming and hope everyone enjoyed running on Gala Hill, after a fairly long gap since the last event here – hope you all agree it’s not a bad wee area for orienteering !
Well done John for the fastest time, but if Colin Williams hadn’t ‘warmed up’ by running from Innerleithen to the Start and wearing flat shoes, it might have been different…! And thanks very much to Fiona F, Judith and Ian for help with the event, much appreciated.

Upcoming events
Please try to enter our next event, at Selkirk Hill, by bedtime on Sunday 13/10/24. See more information via the event page
Sprint Sprint Series 2024
The entry form for our sprint sprint series is now available HERE
You can fill in one form if you know your likely attendance, or fill in one per race, but note that entries close one week before each race which means the first race at Gordon needs entered by bedtime on 17/4. Late entries may not get you an entry and also cause a lot of extra work so please pre-enter if you can.
Bowmont Forest event 6/4/24
Details and the entry form for our Bowmont Forest event are now available on the event page
The Red course at the Eildons seemed popular so we’ll have a Red at Bowmont too – a bit shorter and a lot less climb than the Eildons !
