British MTBO Championships
Posted: 29/06/21
The British MTBO Championships moved to Scotland for the very first time and, unusually, we had all three distances held on the same weekend. The net result was a fantastic weekend of competition with no less than four events on offer.//
//Steve Smirthwaite and Keith Dawson were the main instigators along with many members of Moravian Orienteers helping out.//
//The areas selected provided superb quality orienteering by providing both technical and physical challenges on a par or better than many international events.//
//Needless to say the Scottish weather intervened on Friday evening with a good soaking but even the notorious midges couldn't spoil the overall weekend. //
//We have a new set of champions://
//Sprint Course: Ian Nixon and Charlie Somers Cocks//
//Middle Course: Janine Inman and Ian Nixon//
//Long course: Edwyn Oliver-Evans and Rachel Drew.//
//Well done to you all and to everyone who made it a good competition. //
//Full race reports and results will be found on the Moravian Orienteering Club website.//
//A heartfelt thanks to Steve, Keith and the rest of the team. I am sure that we will all be looking forward to our next visit to this great area.//
