Expert Training 14 Dec Hillsborough with Jon Musgrave

Calling all juniors (and their parents). There is a fantastic opportunity to get some expert O training from Jon Musgrave of MAROC on the 14 Dec at Hillsborough Forest Park.

This is a real unique opportunity organised by the NIOA junior lead, Allan Bogle so don't miss out. Jon is a very experienced orienteer and coach and this promises to be a fantastic chance to learn from a real O star. He was GB's first ever medalist in the World Champs (silver in Relay 1993) and then went on to be one of GBs leading coaches throughout the 90s & 00s. He is also one of the countries leading map makers - he mapped Magilligan Sand dunes for all of you that have raced there.

If you intend to take part you need to let me know at my email address so that the necessary maps can be printed.

Slieve Garron Round Up

Juniors took part in training on attack points at Slieve Garrron on the 5 Oct. The aim of the game was to find a small training kite, hidden on a feature, by locating a more obvious attack point marked on the map with a cross and on the ground with red and white tape. All juniors managed to avoid getting eaten by a goat as well!!
