MapRun results are in
April is over, and as a consequence we can now reveal the results of the first round of the MapRun league in Chandler's Ford. Those who entered and still have the PIN can also see the tracks taken by other competitors. If you managed to take part before the end of April and still haven't uploaded your result, it isn't too late. The course will also remain open until the end of September, but any new attempts won't count towards the league.
We had nearly 30 competitors, which was great to see. David Currie (on home turf) was the only one to attempt to get all 25 controls, but then lost 30 points as he was just over 2 minutes late back. That still put him 10 points ahead of James Bennett, with Andy Snell just ahead of Matthew Chessum based on time, a further 10 points behind. Rachel Hepworth was the first lady. League points can be found here.
Many thanks to Christine Currie for planning. The action now moves to Lee-on-Solent for May courtesy of Tim Gray. Enter on Racesignup if you haven't already. If you're available, why not join us at the pub on the evening of the 21st?

Entries open for Queen Elizabeth Country Park event
Entries are now open on Racesignup for the second event in this summer's Saturday Series. This time, the action steps up a gear as we head to Queen Elizabeth Country Park, at the end of the South Downs, on the 9th May. As with the last event, there is a selection of courses suitable for beginners of varying length and difficulty, but we're also able to offer a longer, harder Blue course, for the seasoned navigator (and hill climber!). If you are new to the sport, there will be plenty of help on hand to get you started. Why not check out our Getting Started guide in the meantime?
Like the sound of a day out at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, but can't make the 9th? There's also a selection of permanent courses at the park that you can complete at any time.
