New - Spring "High or Low Road" series

March 31, 2015

This Thursday - Bleach Green / Crag Fell (Ennerdale) - you choose...

You can either stay on the "low road" and take on the Sprint Challenge around the fields of Bleach Green and the edge of Ennerdale Water, which consists of a flatish 3.1km course with 17 controls - fast and furious.

Or you can decide to take the "high road" up onto Crag Fell on the Conqueror course, which has fewer controls with more straightforward navigation, but greater distance and much more climb!

Your final option is the Wayfarer course (easy navigation), which at 1.8km stays low around the paths of Bleach Green.

If there is time, you could even try more than one course...

Yvette Baker Trophy report

March 29, 2015

Well done to all the WCOC juniors who braved illness, injury and the elements to take on the massed ranks of LOC in today's Yvette Baker qualifier at Askham Fell. Despite many good performances (again!) we just missed out on the first place. Many thanks to Vanessa, Junior Team Captain, for her efforts co-ordinating and organising all the entries today (while modelling the very latest in wet weather gear). Make sure you are all fit and well and let's see if we can do even better at the JK next weekend...
