Walkley is a great area for an urban event; there are so many intricate areas making it a real challenge. Shame only 30 or so of us were able to enjoy it.  Thanks to Alex, Rachael and Jim for putting it on.  Results now up.  PG

The event will be followed by a social in the Springvale from 6.45pm onwards. There is a good range of cheap food available - just order off the main menu. Nick Lightfoot will be briefly presenting information on the British Orienteering Championships for approx 30-45 mins and there will be an opportunity to look at maps and discuss potential courses / route choices.

Rachael would like an idea of the numbers of maps required and the landlady has asked for approximate numbers.
