Due to clashes with other fixtures, we expected this would be a low turnout event. However, the select few who came along enjoyed a warm day seeing Leverhulme at its summer best as a busy sports park. Recent previous events here had been held in thick fog and then bitter cold and rain.

Ross has moved up to Orange and was vying with Wendy until the final control.

We were pleased to be able to use some courses that had been developed by Dave and Harry Anderton at an introductory planning workshop on a SELOC Monday club night.

Entries are now open on Fabian4 for the Lakes 5-Days event in August 2010. See the Fixtures page for details.

On Tuesday 15th June Bury Primary schools held their first inter school orienteering competition, thanks to the efforts of Janet Rashleigh the SSCO who worked hard to get the schools to compete at Burrs Country Park. 5 schools took part with 50 children completing the course. The children really enjoyed the experience on a very pleasant summers late afternoon and although some of them struggled with the navigation, by having helpers around the area none got too lost. The winning school Summerseat will now go forward to the county final to be held at Tandle Hill in July.

This is the first time that Greater Manchester has held a county final orienteering competition and is being seen as a trial run for an inter county competition to be held across the northwest in the next year or so.

I would like to thank Janet for getting the schools to take part and all the members of SELOC who have on a number of occasions helped at inter schools competitions this year and without whom I wouldn't be able to run the competition.

Orienteering was arranged by SELOC again at the Three Sisters Fun Day, along with a range of other activities for everyone to try out.  There were 33 competitors (mainly groups) that tried the 3 courses on offer.
