If you’re looking for something to do on Sunday afternoon after your relay exertions why not come along to Aberdelghy Golf Course and enter the Irish TrailO Champs? Entry-on-the-day still leaves you eligible to become Champion – all you have to do is beat the others! You can also measure up to the many British TrailO Squad members who are coming across as this is a BOF Ranking Event for TrailO.
Club juniors got the chance to confirm pacing for 100m on the flat, up hill and down hill at Stormont Estate. This is a really useful and vital skill for orienteering. Our next session is on the 17 May at Ormeau Park. Be sure to make it along.

With emphasis on the IOC weekend, there has not been an opportunity to set up an IntrO event alongside SC2 at Stormont. The next TrailO event, counting towards the Club PreO Champs, will be the Irish TrailO Champs on Sunday 3rd May at Aberdelghy Golf Course. It provides an excellent opportunity to accumulate big points (21 controls) in one go; you can still get an entry in via the IOC website (preferable) or turn up for entry-on-the-day (if there are sufficient maps left).
Juniors from LVO had a great time at the JK2015 in the Lake District in Cumbria over the Easter Weekend. This was a mix of urban racing around Lancaster University on the Fri evening and technical longer races over a mixed terrain of hills, open moor and forested areas on the Sat and Sun. The relay race took part on the Mon. It was a demanding few days but the weather was great over the weekend and all juniors really enjoyed themselves and did very well given the difficulty of the courses. A big congrats goes to Luke C for Read More …
Next LVO event on April 25th is the Spring Cup 2 Entry to Stormont via Massey Av. Park on Prince William Way. 3 courses – green, orange and yellow. Starts 11.30 – 1.00pm, near Carson statue. Get a run before the Irish Champs!
A number of stiles need to be erected on Slieve Croob for the Irish Championship event and a work party will be constructing them next Friday 17 April. We need a number of volunteers to carry materials to the locations of the stiles and to assist with their construction. It should be pointed out that anyone who takes part may have to declare themselves as non-competitive if they are a championship contender. The party will assemble at the Equestrian Centre on the Slievenisky Road at 10.00am.
