Orienteering Foundation Coaching Day, South Wales

By Dave Currie , 6 December, 2025

Lisa James recently attended the Orienteering Foundation training day at Merthyr Mawr. You can find her report attached. There will be a similar session in the Forest of Dean in late November 2026, followed by a night event, and an event the following day. If you'd be interested in some shared SOC accommodation, please email chair [at] socweb.org (chair[at]socweb[dot]org) (no commitment at this time). Also, please let me know if you'd be interested in a similar event if it took place in our region.

Brockenhurst WNL Results

By Andy Snell , 5 December, 2025

Flooded footbridge

Thank you for coming to the event. I hope you enjoyed it, despite the wet, flooded ground in places. Interestingly, the water level in the streams had dropped by 2 feet between the time of putting the controls out, and collecting them in. Picture of the flooded footbridge attached.

Apologies for the result prints, not having the point scores on them. A small anomaly with the SI Droid App we were using.

Simple results and splits are attached.
