65 people trained on Brayton Barff today practising their orienteering techniques without the pressure of competition. There were 25 seniors and 40 juniors from a scout group and 2 schools - it's not surprising that The Mount and Hambleton did so well recently at the British School Championships. Having chosen to practice following handrails, sticking to a corridor, control picking or map memory a few orienteers competed in an informal score event. Thanks to the control hangers and collectors - plus whoever decided to provide such beautiful weather. The event even made a small profit.
If you decided to go to Rivelin could you let me know what the
attraction of travelling 70 miles had over running at Brayton.
