The juniors had a great weekend of orienteering in South Down over the 21 – 23 Jun. It started on the Fri night with an urban race round Newcastle. The colour series race was held on Sat and was followed by junior training with a chance to practice a stat course based on compass work.
There followed a wet start on Sun when the juniors took part in a loop course through the forest and put their compass skills to the test. This was then followed by a club score course when the juniors got the chance to see how many controls they could get in 30 minutes. Tough going but all did very well!!
Of course there was the chance to camp on the Fri and Sat nights for those hardy people that did not mind the rain. They got lucky and it stayed dry for the BBQ on Sat evening.
