As ever, it was a team effort to put the event on. Thanks to Eb who did most of the work planning the courses and putting out most of the controls. Robin lent a hand with controls in and out. Cathy, Eileen and Ian all helped collect in. Lindsey on computing.

Hope to see you all at Sandyknowe Craigs/Smailholm Tower on Saturday 15 November.

Autumn/Winter series

Note that the first 2 events in the forthcoming series are on Sundays, both are urban races. The following 2 events are on Saturdays, avoiding a clash with other events, and will be terrain races.

Bowhill MTBO 12/7/25

Results from the Mountainbike Orienteering event are HERE

A hot day in the Scottish Borders. Hope you all enjoyed the trip round beautiful sun dappled Bowhill. The varied and very extensive track network meant I was spoilt for choice with setting you course planning problems. The big hill gave me even more options. I was aiming for you to either (a) have several viable route options on each leg and force you to make decisions, (b) have some of those legs with technical navigations (lots of twists and turns), or (c) both.

The courses were a few minutes (c. 10?) longer than I’d planned for. So, think yourselves lucky I abandoned the previous version as being too long last weekend! You’d still be out there 🙂
