O-Ringen 2004: Stage 1, Partilleetappen (19 Jul)
Saturday, July 31st, 2004So, on to the real races. I was running H21-2 throughtout the week. H21 was the most popular of all the courses and so was split into H21-1 and H21-2 - almost everyone else on the tour with me was also doing H21-2 (there’s also H21SE, H21E, H21N, H21M and H21K!) This first day was [...]
O-Ringen 2004: Training, Landvetter Öster (18 Jul)
Thursday, July 29th, 2004After arriving in Gothenburg on Saturday on a horribly early morning flight, and getting so lost on the way from the airport (always an embarrassment for any orienteer) that we ended up twice as far away from the city than we started, no one was really up for too much orienteering. But the following day [...]
Event: Richmond Park (Holly Lodge section) with Sheen Common (11 Jul)
Monday, July 26th, 2004This was the third leg in the Frolic summer series of events put on by London orienteering clubs, like the others the format was a 3km handicap race followed by a similar length sprint race. This was also my O-Ringen warm-up event (!) - hardly Sweden, in fact possibly the easiest area I’ve ever been [...]
Coming Soon
Monday, July 26th, 2004I’m just back from the O-Ringen in Gothenburg. I’m catching up on some badly needed sleep first, but a write-up, pics and a per-day analysis are all to come shortly, along with an event log for the Richmond Park event (my O-Ringen warmup - !) and a provisional plan of what I’ll be doing for [...]
Map of Maps
Sunday, July 4th, 2004This is my big idea. BOF has been building up a national registration of club maps from around the country - but there exists no big “map of the maps.” I’m going to try and build one later this summer.
Event: Trent Park, Enfield (4 Jul)
Sunday, July 4th, 2004This was the second Frolic event of the summer season, put on by LOK this time. Trent park surrounds Trent University and is a rather pleasant mix of parkland and rough open, with small pockets of forest to slow down the pace. Considering it’s July, the undergrowth was not too bad at all, and the [...]
Event: Pole Hill and Chingford Plain, Epping Forest (27 Jun)
Sunday, July 4th, 2004I’m never one to skip a chance at orienteering, not only because it’s just a short train ride, but also because it’s one of southern England’s best orienteering areas - indeed parts of the forest feature in my top 10 of all UK areas.
So, last Sunday (the 27th of June) I went along for HAVOC’s [...]
