Local Event, Camperdown Park and Templeton Woods, Sunday 19th May 2013

Last June, we held an event at Camperdown Park in torrential rain on a June afternoon, and as a result didn't attract too many competitors! With a big pile of premarked maps to use up, we decided to re-run the event to give you another chance to try the courses. This was another chance to along and enjoy Camperdown Park in - hopefully - better weather - and for the 8 of you who ran last time, a chance to better your time!

Organiser's Comments

So, it seems we still can't find a dry day for an event at Camperdown! At least this time it was mist and smirr, rather than torrential rain...

Thankyou to everyone who came along and supported the event - it seems from comments at the end that you all enjoyed the contrast in terrain and orienteering style Camperdown and Templeton presented you. Hopefully it gave you a good opportunity to stretch your legs in advance of the Scottish Championships next weekend.

Thankyou also to everyone who helped on the day on entries, the Finish and control collection - Emilie Vautier, Margret Blow, Moira Laws, Roos Eisma, Derek and Michael Jamieson and Chris Dibben. Your support was much appreciated!

We still have a few more printed maps to get rid of, so maybe another event next year, or maybe we'll just give them away :-)
