There was a wood, a rare wood, a rattling wood...

Members of the De La Salle Scout troop took part in orienteering training at the Minaun, Faithlegg. Part 1 was a Trail O course where they had to choose the feature at each control site. Part 2 was a normal timed cross country event.

The main thing that most of the Scouts learned was that the feature shown is in the centre of the circle on the map!

BOC (Brambles on Course)


A small number of Wato members headed up to Curragh chase Forest park for this years Munster Championships. The event was hosted by BOC...the amount of brambles in the forest gave rise to a new nickname....Brambles on course.

One of the controls in particular gave rise to problems....the crag feature was not in the centre of the circle and many competitors searched up and down the appropriate vegetation change without immediate success.

Vincent Morgan was runner up on the M21s and I managed to blitz the M50 field (for a change!) to end up as 2008 champion.
