Dear Club Secretary,
I am circulating information on the wonderful week of orienteering in Briancon, in the Hautes Alpes of SE France and in Sestriere in neighbouring Piemont, Italy, which will take place during the last week of August 2015. I would be grateful if you could circulate this to your club members.
The competitions will consist of two x three day events, all in alpine terrain, with wonderful scenery, excellent maps and courses to beat everyone.
If you read the Tale of Two Sprints, published in the December 2014 edition of CompassSport, then you will know that an adventure awaits you, because Oricuneo will be hosting the North West Cup. Whilst we cannot predict that you will have an adventure through the mountains to reach the races, we can tell you that the areas are superb, it is where the Winter Olympics were held in 2006, and the maps are from WMOC 2013.
Entries will open at the beginning of February through Orienteering Online.
If you would like more information, please visit the event websites:
Many thanks for your co-operation, wishing you all the very best of orienteering in 2015
Fran Stone
