ELO finished 3rd out of 13 clubs competing in the Scottish heat of the CompassSport Trophy on Sunday. Our best 13 scores across seven different courses counted to our points total so it was a real team effort. Peter Atkinson was our top scorer with 100 points as the winner of his course.
Congratulations to all our runners in the Trossachs which is one of Britain’s most demanding areas for orienteering. The map contains very few paths or linear features to aid navigation and the terrain is either boggy or steep and treacherous underfoot making it difficult to progress at more than walking pace.

The aim of the South of Scotland Orienteering League is to promote participation in orienteering beyond the local level by providing:
- larger, but still welcoming, events;
- high-quality courses;
- good areas;
- up-to-date maps.
ELO is planning to host our own event in the series at the start of November and this weekend sees the first event in the series taking place in Holyrood Park (and its not too late to enter even on the day).

For longer than most of us can remember ELO have put on a fun orienteering event between Christmas and New Year. As well as finding the controls there has been a puzzle to add to the challenge. A mass start, a social gathering and a lively prize giving have made up for a great way to work off some of the Christmas excesses.
This year’s Festive Frolic is at Levenhall Links on Sunday 28th December and will continue our grand tradition.
Please arrive early if you wish to enter on the day.

Special thanks to Neil for planning courses and for managing to find some new control sites amidst the familiar terrain of Binning Wood.
