The Plan Ahead
May 16th, 2004 by Ollie
[Updated 23 May] Well, my own season has been effectively decimated by my recurring injury problems from February onwards, however I’m now in a position to start attending some events for the season’s tail end. The UK orienteering season often winds up with smaller events and summer evening series - the kind of event ideal for me in my “unfit but willing” state!
My plan is:
Tuesday 18th May - SLOW Local Score Event, Beddington Park, South London (maybe.)(Bad back.)Sunday 23rd May - TVOC District Event, Coombe Hill, Wendover. A physical, hilly area, this should wake me up with a start.(Slept in!)- Wednesday 2nd June - HAVOC Local Summer Evening Event, Epping South West, Chingford. Epping is always delightful at any time of the year, plus it’s within London so nice and close to get to.
- Sunday 6th June - TVOC District Event, Great Hampden, Princes Risborough, OR MV Local Event, The Nower, Dorking.
- Wednesday 9th June - TVOC Summer Series Local Event, Black Park, Slough.
- Sunday 13th June - BADO District Event & SCOA League, Chawton Park & Bushy Leaze Wood, Alton, OR SAX District Event, Brede, Hastings.
- Wednesday 16th June - CHIG Local Event, Latton Woods.
- Sunday 20th June - HAVOC Try O, Thorndon Country Park (North), Brentwood.
- Sunday 27th June - HAVOC Frolic Event, Epping SW/Pole Hill, Chingford.
- Sunday 4th July - LOK Local Frolic Event, Trent Park, North London.
- Wedesday 14th July - HAVOC Summer Evening Event, Bedfords Park, Romford.
- Saturday 17th - 24th July - O-Ringen, Gothemburg, Sweden. I really hope I’m in shape by this time!

Well my plan is:
1) Not very much (slight over-estimation!)
2) Probably slightly less.
3) O-Ringen, where orienteering will end very early on Day 1, when I will be
more likely to find the Scandinavian version of Big Foot before one of those
orange things that get randomly placed in forests.

Sunday 22nd May? I think you’ll find that it’s on Sunday 23rd May instead…
Not that I’m going or anything - I’ll be on the flight back from Berlin
instead!
Even if I was in the UK, I would probably have gone to the Holme Fell National
event instead.
Boz do I hate these German kezboards!

Well spotted Luke, you are quite right.
I reckon Coombe Hill will be a pretty nice area. I haven’t run on Holme Fell
either, but if I had a choice between running in woodland or on fells, I would
pick the woodland every time.
