The club is having a break for the school holidays but we’ll be back doing local events starting on 20 August with our first in a series of 6 Come and Try events in Melrose, Gordon, St.Boswells, Oxton, Newtown St. Boswells and Lauder. Courses and help for beginners plus something a little harder for the more experienced. All welcome.

The CATI series is followed by our usual Autumn series. Venues this year are Selkirk Hill, Bowhill, Teviothead and Lanton.

More details will be added to the website nearer the time. Meantime there are still events happening elsewhere over the summer ( see https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/event) plus some virtual courses (see the menu heading on this website).

The BBC Scotland Adventure Show came and tried night orienteering in Darnick before Christmas and you now have the chance to try the course. See the event page on the right hand side of this page, Pre-entry essential.

The club can’t accept non-members or beginners at races at the moment due to Covid rules but everyone can still take part in “Virtual” orienteeering if they have a smartphone. See the heading above about MapRun and Permanent Courses.

We are planning 5 events over the next few weeks but for the moment these are restricted to club members only. This isn’t ideal but is the current agreement between Scottish Orienteering and SportScotland which allows us to have any orienteering events. Members will be emailed details of all the events. All events are strictly pre-entry, do not turn up on the day without having submitted an entry form.

We hope to welcome back non-members before too long. Remember that there are permanent courses and MapRun courses for you to enjoy meantime.

Whilst we can’t get together for any organised orienteering remember that there are still virtual MapRun courses available. These are open to everyone, not just club members, see the information under the MapRun and Permanent Courses tab above.

The 2 Selkirk Hill MapRun courses used on Boxing Day are now available for everyone. In the MapRunF App download either the Selkirk Hill Score or Selkirk Hill Scatter plus the corresponding map below, although they’re the same controls so either map would suffice. If the “Events Near Me” link in MapRunF doesn’t work use “Select Event” and then UK – Scotland – Borders – Roxburgh Reivers….
