British Schools Orienteering Championships

For the past two weeks I have been involved in the organisation for the British Schools Orienteering Championships. Last week it was preparing the equipment for use and this week it was drying it all and returning it. Today, finally, the house is looking like a home again, instead of a drying room.

On Saturday I spent part of the day taking photos of the selection race. Sadly, the light levels at the finish were poor and so there are less photos than I intended and some of the posted ones are a bit blurry.

Sunday morning (6am!) I packed a car up in the rain. Apart from a thirty minute spell, at around 2pm while we were collecting controls, it rained all day. For much of that time I was outside, or sheltering just inside an army tent. Apparently Dorset had the worst weather on that day - though those travelling back to , or through, the midlands did get snow later on in the day.

I’ll be glad to get out in the dry this weekend - even if it is cold!
