VHI selection
There was good news for 3 Reivers this week with their selection for the Veterans Home Internationals being held in the Peak District in mid-November. John M50, Lindsey W50 and Fiona W35 all received their emails after the final selections took place at Dalnamein and are part of what looks like a team well capable of retaining the trophy.
Scottish Sprint Championships
The Maxwell family travelled north to Lossiemouth for the Scottish Sprint Championships and had a very successful day. Pride of place goes to Kirstin, winning the W21E title from a host of experienced orienteers. Kirstin also beat Ian, which might be a first (?). Also in winning form was Karen who won W14. Ian was 4th on M45 and Eileen was 7th on W45.
SOL4 Dalnamein
It looked like nothing from the A9, just a block of thick forest with some moorland either side. However, it proved to be much better in reality. Some of the open areas were a bit rough and tussocky but much of the white/pale green in the forest was good running.
There were no individual winners on the day but several top-3’s. Kirstin and Lindsey both managed 2nd as did Melanie Sloan on a comeback in W35S. Robin, Eileen, Ian and Jim were all 3rd. Douglas T and James were 4th and 5th on the M21E separated by just 5 seconds. Karen was 8th.
Junior Home Internationals and JIRCs
Superb performances by Kirstin and Karen helped Scotland to retain the trophy for the individual day of the JHI Championships at Newborough on Anglesey recently. Continue reading
