Fantastic. I won't make all seven but I'm determined to do the minimum of four.

I shall start on the fitness training tomorrow!

I've just launched a new website for the Scottish Orienteering Urban League.

Some of the 55+ courses got lengthened and moved to the far start, other than that I don't know.

[Paul Frost]

Sounds like it might be a good idea for the organisers to email all entries with the news.
Even if it doesn't apply to them they may be giving a lift to someone it does.

The changes need to be highlighted and attention drawn to the changes in the PDF final details. Plus on the EUOC website say when the details were updated so people can know if they have an old version. If the changes are very limited, then actually mention what has changed on the website.

[andypat]

I am sure they will be flexible with things like that - EUOC events usually are.

Updated League table with 2 events to go:

The final 2 events in the 2012 series are:
SOUL 5 Livingston INT Sat 6 Oct in conjunction with INT SoSol at Calder Wood on 7 Oct.
SOUL 6 Dunblane FVO Saturday 20 Oct in conjunction with Clyde SOL 6 on the newly remapped Fairy Knowe and Doune Hill on Sun 21 Oct

The Livingston event takes us back to the scene of the 2012 JK sprint, while Dunblane will be new to most of us as this is its first use for an event of this size.

The Livingston event takes us back to the scene of the 2012 JK sprint

Actually, we also have a new area with some overlap to the JK training area.

I thought that but when I went onto the INT website to check... there was nothing to mention the event... so I was a bit careful with my wording (scene vs map)!
