The series is brought to you by members of Oxford's two orienteering clubs:


Thames Valley OC

Oxford University OC

The new series is under way

Thanks to everyone who came to run around Wolvercote on a lovely early autumn evening on Wednesday. Unlike me, I think most of you will have managed to run most of the course in daylight! Even more thanks to Liz for planning and for providing food afterwards.

Provisional results have been posted, but one score is missing at the moment. Final results, and Routegadget, will appear when I return from holiday.
