Family training session
The third of the family training sessions was held today in conjunction with the SYO Bingham Park event. After a map walk in the glorious spring sunshine we set up base at the tennis courts and set off on loops and short courses. Later, some of the more energetic families went down to the start and took part in the event, completing the yellow course. Well done everyone. Details of next week’s venue will be on the website soon.
YHOA Night League
Adam Bradbury won the Junior Men's category last night in the YHOA night league and Marcia Bradbury came 3rd in the Veteran Women's category. The YHOA night league consisted of 6 night events spread over 5 months, including Tankersley.

Excellent turnout at Wombwell Wood
SYO's latest event was at Wombwell Wood, attracting around 250 people. Wombwell is a small but very nice woodland, and at this time of year it offers fast runnability. SYO member Matt Crane won the longest course (Brown, 8.1km) in 38 minutes. The shortest course (White, 1.1km)was successfully completed by 17 beginners and younger juniors.
The event courses were very quickly available on RouteGadget after the event - already over 70 runners have marked their route on, which helps everyone to see what routes others took, and improve their own navigational techniques. RouteGadget here.
Beginners' training
A great turn-out for today's first of five Saturday morning beginners' training sessions. With 25 adults and 30 children, the five coaches had their work cut out. Having covered the basics today, next week the training will move to Loxley Common to try out some courses and training on terrain.
