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.

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.

Thanks to Ian (and assistant Eileen) for planning/organising a really enjoyable run round the town, and to everyone who helped collect in the controls at the end.

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 🙂
