JK 2022 South Wales
Impressive Devon turn out and results!
Fifty five Devon members made the journey over the Severn to South Wales for the 2022 JK Festival of Orienteering. Everyone was rewarded with fantastic weather, great competition and first class terrain. There were also some notable Devon achievements, listed below, together with a few photogaphs which capture some of the flavour of the event. Well done to all club members who took part and particular congratulations to those on the podium!
Merry ExMas-O!
Want some Christmas Cheer?
For the run up to Christmas -and beyond -Martin Yeo and Jemma Davie have put their collective heads together and come up with a fantastic collection of orienteering activities.

Alan Simpson -Presentation
Today's Maprun meet at Holne Moor (23.8.20) was notable as being Alan Simpson's last appearance before leaving for Yorkshire. We took the opportunity to mark the occasion by presenting him with Life Membership of the Club, plus a present to remind him of Devon- a jigsaw of the former Smallhanger Waste map (one of many that former Club Member Noel Gould used to make).
Those present took advantage of the lovely weather to have a socially distanced picnic in the car park.
Thanks to Steve for organising the Maprun. Although some of us had technical problems, it was wonderful to be able to get out and orienteer again, especially on a technical area of Dartmoor.
