Gala Hill Results 14th September ’24

I think there is an HTML file lurking somewhere on the event laptop which would have shown proper results, but meantime here’s a kind of results page for Saturday’s Local event on Gala Hill. 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.

Hopefully Lindsey will be able to sort this properly and give you the splts – come back in a day or two.

Newtown St Boswells sprint 29/5/24

The results from the Newtown St Boswells sprint are HERE

A small but enthusiastic entry who got a bit wet at the end. Disappointing that a control was stolen by local kids when we spend a bit of time taking the local P7’s orienteering ! £100 down the drain 🙁

Thanks to John for organising and everyone who helped look for the stolen control and/or collected in controls at the end.

Darnick sprint 8/5/24 – results

Full results are now HERE

Thanks to Robin for Planning/Organising the courses with lots of route choice, and also the nice weather.

Planner’s Report

A great luxury for the organiser was that Assembly, Start and Finish were all with within one minute of home! Made the most of it and went back for a snack after setting out the controls, and only a five minute walk to the Book Club meeting after everyone had gone. So I much appreciated that so many helped with the final setting up and dismantling after – thank you all and to Lindsey for the computing.

I think most folk enjoyed the run round Darnick and from the chat afterwards enjoyed the quick decision making required in Sprints to choose and commit to a route. I was very impressed with Eileen taking the main road pavement from 5 to 6 and using the bridge – a true Sprinter’s route choice! Ian’s winning time was about the target, but still very impressive – well done Ian!

Hope the weather is as kind for the remaining three Sprint events, hope to see you at St Boswells next week.
