John Muir Country Park suffered terribly from Storm Arwen but, now that the fallen trees have been cleared, the woodland is starting to recover and the path network has been opened up again.
We will also be venturing into the dunes on either side of the protected tidal marsh. These dunes are covered by spiky marram grass with a good path network on the inland side and a visit to coastal Spike Island providing a navigational challenge for the more technical courses.
Although online registration is now closed you can still join us on the day.

East Lothian Orienteers were involved in the East Lothian Schools Orienteering Festival held at Levenhall on Wednesday 19th February in conjunction with East Lothian Outdoor Learning Service.
Although there were only bulk entries from two primary schools, six schools were represented and approximately 120 pupils took part. There was some hot competition, although we did hear of one boy saying he took a bit longer than he could to stay out of school as long as possible.
In addition to the main competition there were a number of fun, orienteering-based activities and challenges. From all the reports we heard, all the pupils had a great time and we look forward to a bigger entry when the event returns next year.

We should like to apologise to those early starters on course 4 who lost some time at #1 due to the incorrect number on the loose control descriptions. We have considered voiding the course or removing the first two legs but having looked at the splits, we think that, with two or three exceptions, there was no significant impact on the results because of any delay you may have experienced. With apologies to those affected, we have left the results as they were at download.
