The tables have been updated with the results of the penultimate WEE and, as predicted last week, have seen changes at the top. In hCOW (consistency) Nat Kerr has been overtaken by Mark Pruzina but there are plenty of folk lurking with either a good fourth score or a high-value discard at Stormont capable of making a difference. The same applies in Regatta (improvement) where Chloé Campbell has been overtaken but, again, there’s plenty of folk could make a difference next Wednesday. The Handicap Table is not there for points but to show the history of your handicap movement through Read More …

On Saturday 8 August, Lagan Valley Orienteers is hosting The Original Mourne Seven Sevens Challenge Walk and Race – our biggest fundraiser of the year. As you may know, the Seven Sevens is no ordinary challenge – it’s an 18-mile trek across all seven Mourne peaks over 700 metres, with over 2,500 metres of climbing. Alongside the walkers, we team up with BARF to host the 7x7s Mountain Race, a highlight of the NI mountain running calendar. It’s a fantastic day out with a buzzing atmosphere, and we’d love you to be part of it. But here’s the reality: we Read More …

With 2 events left, the standings in the hCALF tables are getting interesting. In the hCOW table (best scores for consistency) Nat Kerr is holding the lead, but with quite a few 3-event scorers having accumulated fewer place points there could be changes ahead. The Regatta table (best scores for improvement) is closely fought with Chloé Campbell in pole place to retain her title from last year. Well done Chloé – must be the Ormiston air!

😌 When arriving to set up, the calmness of the Campbell College grounds was very welcome after the craziness on Belfast streets the previous evening. That calmness was short lived, however, when over 100 participants arrived with smiles and welcomes to all, ready for some fast and furious running whilst trying not to get lost around this stunning school venue. 🧭 So what about the courses? Big thanks to our planner, David Wilson, for setting us the challenge – his excellent knowledge made great use of the area and had us exploring every nook and cranny. 💗 Share the love, Read More …

This evening’s WEE at Campbell College is still planned to take place. We will keep an eye on proceedings and if there are protests planned or ongoing this afternoon/evening, we may have to cancel the event at short notice. Check the event page on the LVO website for any updates. If you feel it unsafe for you to make your journey, please stay at home. Due to last night’s civil unrest, the Newtownards Road (A20) has been closed near the city from Bryson Street to the Albert Bridge Road. I am unsure when this will open, but I suggest you Read More …
