Its time to start looking ahead to the multi-day Orienteering Season. You'll find many opportunities for Orienteering in many different countries over the year ahead. Theres a full list in the current CompassSport magazine, but heres a few to think about whilst you consider your holiday planning.

Feb 20th: Southern Championships, Forest of Dean - 3 hours drive, Long and Middle distance races 

April 2nd: JK,  Devon - 3 Hours drive, great location, with Braunton/Croyde making an obvious accommodation option, surfing and beaches on your doorstep.

May 1st: BOC + BAOC Middle distance on Bank Holiday Mon, Cannock Chase - 2 hours drive, with 3 events available this year due to incorporating the Bank Holiday

August Week1: World Masters OC, Neuchatel, Switzerland - Sprint and Long Races including Open classes for those not having yet reached 'Masters' status.

August Week 4: Lakes 5 Days - 5 hours drive, with the scenery and beer this great, it really doesnt matter how the Orienteering goes!...and pop into the White Rose on the way home if you need more

Booking early not only gives discounted O Entry, but Ferry/Chunnel is cheaper and choice of Accommodation is usually wider. Hope to see some of you at the above events.
