Levenhall Links
Saturday 26th October 2024
Event Report
Thanks for coming along to Levenhall Links and enjoying some autumnal East Lothian sunshine. It was the perfect conditions for some runners courses round the old ash lagoons in Musselburgh.
Many thanks to the volunteers, particularly those who were there at the bitter end collecting controls and to our planner Jeff Hodgson and the organiser Duncan Edmondson!
It was super to have refreshments afterwards and there was a lovely buzz of conversations both before and afterwards. Hopefully all our members who were helping / running in other events across the country this weekend had an equally enjoyable time.
There were a couple of hitches today but we hope they didn’t spoil the day for those affected – runners on Orange and the earliest starters on White. Orange, control number 5 wasn’t correctly located and one of the route choices in appeared to be more runnable on the map than it actually was on the ground. To be able to compare overall Orange course runs more easily we have removed control 5 from the overall results. The route choice analysis on Routegadget still includes this control so you can see how others approached it.

Vogrie- Saturday 5th October 2024
Event Report
Today was an extra activity added to the club programme for the Midlothian Outdoor Festival, which is co-ordinated by the countryside rangers.
The weather was perfect and Vogrie was looking wonderful.
Well done to all the families who came along and participated enthusiastically, many for their first go at orienteering, and to Bonnyrig Scout Unit who also took part equally enthusiastically.
Lots of people also had fun in the orienteering maze. Thank you to David for setting up and running the maze, and to Neil, Vik, Dermot, Jamie, Jenny and Robin for helping put out and collect in controls, run Start, run the computers and give help to first-timers.

Yellowcraig
Saturday 28th September 2024
Yellowcraig is a small but varied area with forest, sand-dunes and open grassland to challenge for new and experienced orienteers.
Orienteers of all abilities are welcome to join us on the day when we will have the usual range of courses and also a corridor course for training.
There will be entry on the day available – please come early to avoid disappointment!
Controller’s Report
We are sorry that there was a problem with the first control in Orange for the early starters. We should probably have voided the course and deleted all results, but we thought it was better to leave it – you know what you did.

Whitekirk Hill
Saturday 29 June 2024
Whitekirk Hill is a relatively new area for orienteering and boasts a variety of rock and contour features on broadly open hillside with picturesque views over East Lothian.
The majority of the paths are mown strips through the grass though they appear to be more permanent and there are many informal paths around the former golf course.
Parking for the event is at the Whitekirk Hill resort and we’d encourage you to make use of the excellent cafe which is there.
As well as the “usual” Saturday courses, we are offering a “no paths” version of the Green course which will allow you to test your navigation using just the contour detail on the map. There are plenty of catching features which should allow you to relocate and the main hardcore track round the site will be included on the map. You are advised to wear studded shoes for the Green and “no paths” courses.
We have ordered plenty of maps so entry on the day will be available – just turn up!

John Muir Country Park
25th May 2024
Many thanks to all those who came to take part and to the many helpers in staging the event. Particular thanks to Neil for planning the courses and his heroics with Tim in quickly fixing various timing issues.
It was good to have courses venturing into the woods for the first time since the storm of 2021. Now that most of the fallen trees have been removed the wood is beginning to show signs of recovery.
