Parking is better value these days.

Newcastleton Forest. F Jolly and Heriot-Watt University Orienteering Club 1980. HWUOC liked Sitka plantations, they mapped Blairadam a year later - I would love to see that map.
Newcastleton has had some changes since - the yellow was planted with trees soon after the event and there is a #7Stanes trail centre there now. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps #Orienteering #MTB

A finish at the 2009 Six Days. I did not recover from an injury at the event and left the sport soon after.

The Senior #orienteering team #Ireland is having their training camp in #Dublin this weekend. Stop by and say "Hi"

It's #Scottish6Days Week, so here is Culbin from the World Championships in 1976 and the first ever 6 Days. #Orienteering #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

A new episode of this #Orienteering podcast:
https://m.soundcloud.com/the-run-in-415022829/episode-70-alice-is-retiring-and-a-woc-preview

It's been a busy season already, so Katherine and Will pick their highlights, including the JWOC results.

We also hear from World Bronze Medallist Alice Leake, after her decision to retire from the sport.

And with the forest World Championships just around the corner, we chat about the terrain and pick our favourites to take the medals.

The drone coverage of the mass start and first controls is amazing. Whoever said that #orienteering is not a spectator sport? And the terrain in Romania is fantastic 🤩

It is incredible how professional and engaging live coverage of big #orienteering events has become over the last couple of years. So much suspense and great analysis by the well-informed commentators of #JWOC2023! https://www.jwoc2023.ro/

Watching Venla relay online (and trying out Mastodon).

And now for some great spectator sports, it is #orienteering Jukola weekend in Finland.

This is a massive relay competition, first for women's teams in the afternoon, then for men's teams (with also women as team members these days) starting at 11 p.m. and continuing all through the night. Love it!

Penultimate control site at Burrough Hill, an early iron age univallate hill fort which reached its peak as a settlement around 100BCE. #orienteering #leicestershire Too hot for many given the climb, but it's a fun area to plan on.

Our Livelox support just became better. Now you can select the event and class for your Livelox upload. So track your #orienteering race with an Apple Watch, press Send to Livelox and we will figure out events based on the time and locations of your track. Select your class & upload and view your route choices on Livelox!

#orienteering #osm I'm likely becoming schizophrenic. As an OSM mapper, I don't like highways-as-area so much. As an orienteering mapper, my dream for sprint maps would be to micromap the relevant areas in OSM (including highways-as-areas) and do as little as possible in OCAD/OOMapper (after a further brushing-up of the translation tables in the latter). Will that make me the equivalent of a golf mapper?

Thank you NTNUI & 10mila for a fantastic race. Did you spot our signs at the arena or elsewhere? See you in the next events.

Follow us to see the next developments for the app, we are going to release some very exciting new stuff later this summer.

@hischeekiness We did #orienteering in a LOVELY place in #llangollen

#Beavers #Scouts #Scouting

Amazing weekend in the forests outside Castlemaine, Victoria, for National #Orienteering League races. Perfect cool clear weather, brilliant runnable terrain, and exciting racing 😊

We are proud sponsors of 10mila kavlen happening 2 weeks from now! 💪 It is one of the biggest relay events in #orienteering and we wish all the good luck for teams participating and preparing for it. If you will be there in Skellefteå, be sure to spot our sign and logos and share them! 📸

Sometimes I go to an #orienteering race in an area that I then determine I shall never go to again. Not often, but here's last night's new addition to the list.

Top of the morning to you fellow #orienteering people! We have released our Android version 1.9 with the tags feature! 🎉 Tags was already earlier released to iOS/Mac users. To celebrate this, we have written something about it:

control-app.net/feature-updates/tags/

We also face-lifted our Android app’s design with Material Design 3. Try it out and have an excellent season 2023!

Thousands gather for Dartmoor Ten Tors challenge

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-65411366

The best of luck to all.

Always a wonderful display of determination from teenagers.

At least the weather looks set fair this year. Could well be some mist or fog.
