Dundock Wood, Coldstream 31/1/26

Thanks to everyone who came along today. Photos will be added to our various social media platforms asap.

Basic results from Dundock Wood are now HERE

Apologies to the people who got all the controls but their timing dibber was full by the end, I’ve made manual adjustments to give you the missing points.

Club Championships

John Tullie won the club championships by a whisker. It was unfortunate that both John and Kirstin cleared the course and could have gained more points if there had been more controls to collect. Colin could also have gained more points but basically you all ran faster than I expected given the technical course and the muddy ground.

Traquair House 6/12/25

The final results from Traquair House are HERE

The water table obviously rose during the event because the small bridges weren’t underwater when I put out the controls but were underwater later, apologies. The Maze appears to have presented a good challenge as well as being a bit of fun.

It was good to see some new faces and I think most folk enjoyed their course, we look forward to seeing you again. As ever, it’s a team effort and thanks to everyone who went out again with wet feet to collect in the controls – Andrew A, Andrew J, John, Ian, Eileen, Keith, Les, Margaret. Also thanks to Andrew T for swapping the 2 adjacent controls I’d managed to put out wrongly, oops.

Photos have been added to the Open and Closed Facebook pages.

Thanks to Traquair Estate to allowing us to use the area. They will re-open on 1 April 2026 when you could revisit the Maze and the rest of the gardens.
