Urban
Orienteering - Poole Town Race - Saturday 26th May
2012 - Final
Details
This event came about as a result of a mapping
project done by the Rotary Club of Poole Bay. The
project was to map all the alleys and rights of way
in Poole Old Town, and was done with the support of
Poole Borough Council.
To
see the results of the work, click here.
Having
mapped all these obscure and less-obscure footpaths,
Rotary Club of Poole Bay started looking for projects
that could build on the work they had done. Orienteering
seemed an obvious one, and with the rise in popularity
of sprint (short distances) and urban (in towns, cities)
orienteering, the idea for the Poole Town Race was
born.

Informal - Holmsley - Saturday 3rd March 2012 Results
Thank
you all for coming to our Informal Event on Saturday at
Holmesley. Normally we are lucky to get between 15 and
20 people turn up for these monthly events so I felt I
was safe ordering 40 maps. So when we had over 60 arrive
it soon became apparent that we would have to recycle
the maps when people finished their runs.
Many thanks to those who gave up their maps for others
to use and apologies for the wait but we were caught out
by the unusually high turnout.
For
those of you who didn't go away with a map the map files
are attached so you can print one off yourself.
Yellow,
Orange,

Triumph again at Coast Path Relay
Saturday
3 September saw the 21st running of the Dorset Coats
Path Relay. Seven teams were running this year and
Wessex were attempting the unprecedented feat of five
straight wins. We did not have things all our own
way and Bristol pushed us very hard all day. Our victory
was by one of the smallest margins, just 5½
minutes after almost 8 hours of running. The Wessex
time of 7h 41m 01s is the sixth fastest of all time
so no mean feat.

Congratulations
to all 31 runners. If you haven't ever partaken of
this unique relay then please think about signing
up for next year - it's a great days sport. Full results
are on the Wimborne Website.
