Owls Count

In between all the recent orienteering I have also helped at an event. Just after Easter my parents had agreed to plan and organise the BAOC event, which was held at Blandford Camp - on the training area.

While I’ve run around the camp before, the bit we were using for this event is new to me. Plans to drive round to the far side of the area and start putting out the controls from that direction were thwarted when we found a fallen tree blocking the small country lane. Instead we went in through the camp - parking on the old airfield.

The courses were very much in the middle distance idea of clusters, with many changes of direction. Nothing greatly technical, but very good fun. The promised heavy rain held off and we had a fairly good day.
