Events within 50 miles

news

After the initial excitement of Orienteering starting in September the programme is beginning to settle and in so doing the number of events offered before Christmas is decreasing.   I have taken this opportunity to add to this the South East League events planned for early 2021. This is a good programme – I only hope that it takes place.

Major events are Major Events such as a British Championships, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, Regional events attract participants from around the local Region, Local are usually low key events in a ‘localised’ area. Local events are ideal for newcomers to try the sport.
