Many thanks to all those who came to today’s event – a very strong turnout including lots of new faces and many experienced orienteers. Godfrey’s courses took us to some unfamiliar parts of Whitekirk not reached by previous events or by the weekly parkrun course.
Junior training activities before the main event were well attended too and enthusiastically carried out.

Vogrie Country Park is a woodland estate managed by Midlothian Council. The Tyne Water runs through the park in a steep sided valley which can provide a physical challenge. Vogrie usually hosts a Saturday parkrun and has a popular playground but its varied terrain and 12 mile path network make this a popular venue for orienteering, particularly for those new to the sport. For the more experienced there are plenty of ways to navigate between controls both on paths and off them!
Registration, start and finish are near the main house and we look forward to seeing you there.
Loose control descriptions will be available for the orange, red and green courses.
