An urban double-header weekend 10 – 11 June 2023
Visit the stunning Scottish Borders in June for a weekend of racing and sightseeing.
Lots to do when you’re not racing – explore a few Abbeys or Castles, visit some Stately Homes, collect a few Turfs, wander along majestic rivers, nip up The Eildon Hills, or just find a nice viewpoint and drink in the scenery (Scott’s View near Melrose for example).
Details on the event webpage via the link on the right hand side of this page (or via the Menu then Events if you’re viewing on your phone) .
Update 30/9/22: The link for pre-entries has now closed but there are plenty of maps so just turn up and enter on the day.
The first in the autumn series is at Selkirk Hill on Saturday 10/89/22. If possible please pre-enter via the link on the event page (to the right hand side of this page). Enter without obligation to turn up, no payment needed if you don’t make it. Pre-entering helps save time on the day and also saves us printing excess maps.
Later events will also be pre-enter preferred, check each page out nearer the time.
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.
