CompassSport Trophy 2016

A good turnout of members travelled to South Yorkshire at the weekend to compete in the final of this years CompassSport Trophy, having qualified at Stirling way back in March.

The venue, Tankersley Woods, was used for coal and iron mining before being bombed during World War 2 and is now a wooded area of many paths, many pits and many brambles !

The day started very wet and the club tent putter-uppers got a soaking but the weather eventually cleared to sunny with blue skies. Unfortunately the teams results weren’t quite so sunny and most of us failed to cope with the terrain as well as we would have liked, so the team finished 5th from 12 on the day.  Highlights for the team were 2nd place for Kirstin Maxwell and 3rd place for Pauline McAdam.  8 year old Ellie Darlow was the only winner on the day, taking top spot on the Yellow course.

Miller’s Knowes, Hawick – results

Results from the Hawick sprint are HERE

I’ve re-instated Rob and Paul as unit 110 seems to be faulty even though it had a new battery in February.

Thanks for coming to Hawick, and thanks to Ellie for doing the start timing and map handout for me.  See you in Melrose next week.

Jedburgh sprint results

The revised results from the Jedburgh sprint are HERE

Quite a few people, including me, went through a large open gate which was marked as non crossable on the map – legs 9-10 and 10-11.  I’ve n/c’d those affected rather than dq’d them so that people can compare splits for the non-affected legs.
