Entries open for Burley West

By Webmaster , 15 August, 2026

Given recent weather, it may seem premature to think of Autumn, but as we head towards September, we'll soon be able to orienteer in the New Forest again. Our next event is at Burley West, on Sunday 20th September, and entries are now open on Racesignup. This is the area used for last year's November Classic and thankfully is unaffected by the recent fire.

If you are new to orienteering, don't be put off by the fact that it is a Regional event - there will still be the full range of courses, and novices on the White, Yellow, and Orange courses benefit from reduced entry fees.

Get your entries in by the 11th to guarantee your choice of course. Entries will remain open until the 16th, but only subject to map availability.

Organisers Comments

Many thanks to all those who came along to the event yesterday in the blistering heat. There was a great mix of experienced and enthusiastic new orienteers in attendance.

It was a little busier than anticipated so apologies for any queues you encountered while we got ourselves sorted.

As always thanks to those SOC members who helped on the day. To Steve and Alastair for computing, Wing and Norman for standing in the full sun (for 1.5 hours) managing the start. To Rachel for her coaching of new orienteers and the control placing and collecting team – Matthew, Lisa, Paul, Ian and Chris.

Thanks to Eastleigh BC for allowing us to use Fleming Park for the event and finally, to Tim the planner for a great variety of courses.

MapRun July League Results

By Webmaster , 1 August, 2026

Thanks to Colin (and Mark) for a great event around Woolston for July. There are 21 finishers in the results. David Currie was back at the top of the table, Andy Snell also having got all but one control, but in a longer time. James Bennett was third, and Rachel Hepworth once again, first lady. If you have an entry but didn't manage to run in July, remember you can still take part until the end of September (although it won't count towards the league).

The league results have now been updated. As we now head into the fifth event of six, with four to count, those who have attended all the events so far, will now get the opportunity to drop their lowest score. Entries for the next event in North Baddesley are now open on Racesignup.
