The Scottish round of the UK club orienteering championships took me to Tentsmuir Forest this morning, with hopes that my club could avoid coming last in the “small clubs” championship. I had a fair run on an area which didn’t suit me since it is flat and you have to run in forests… which is pretty much what orienteering is about, I know! In the end we were the 6th club of 9 which, I think, means that we haven't qualified to (not) go to Devon for the final!

We also had the news that the competitor at last night's event who had a heart attack died on the way to hospital. It’ll be interesting to see what fall-out there is from this, although I don't imagine that there was more that anyone could have done since they seemed very well set up with medical and rescue staff/systems.
