World Master 2011 starts in Hungary on Saturday.

About 140 of the 3200 runners are British. Good luck!

Really looking forward to it - trains, planes and automobiles now underway with 3 hour coach journey from Voru to Tallin done (left 0110 local ), flight to Riga next then Budapest and then taxi across City and train to Pecs. Will be a relief to get there and start orienteering!

[Mrs H]

Well done Mike and good luck everyone - it's a big week/end what with WMOC, JWOC and Jircs - let's hope we get plenty of updates to keep us in touch.

I'm just sitting in bed looking down on the 3 Counties Show Ground (my house is a bit unusual) and all the VW campervans are assembling for their twice yearly Vanfest and I said to Mr H "doesn't it look lovely" and then I realised why - it reminded me of an O-ringen camp site! I'm suffering big event withdrawal symptoms - so keep the info coming.

News updates would be greatly appreciated - suffering mild O withdrawal symptoms following a hernia op 9 days ago. Great to see 6 GB M55 seeded in top 10 of sprint final, can almost sense that nervous tension an hour before the start!

[Mrs H]

You gotta feel for the soul competitor in the M95A final - a mispunch!

[maprun]

Hi Mrs H, are there live results available somewhere?

[maprun]

Found live results on JWOC instead, so fickle.

[Mrs H]
