Re: First York Indoor Cup
I did real orienteering on Cleeve Hill. Some of the Green controls required great concentration and accuracy.

It's all real orienteering.

Really really enjoyed the first, hopefully of many, York Indoor Cup event... almost as tricky as the original Stockholm Indoor Cup (worth a trip in February!). No less confusing being an ex-pupil of Nunthorpe School as it was called over 30 years ago!
Looking forward to another indoor orienteering event in York, or elsewhere if people can get permissions and organise one.

Re: First York Indoor Cup
Same here - great fun and very challenging. I don't think I've been to an event where so many have mispunched (myself included - 20 and 21 on Mens B in the wrong order) and yet I've only heard complimentary comments.
It was interesting that the main topic of conversation in the assembly area (Titus Salt school) at Shipley was whether that would be good for a similar event. I certainly hope there are more, and some a bit closer than Yorkshire.

Lisa was very disappointed to miss this but her dad dragged her off to Culbin for the weekend. No contest in his opinion
I'm sure it was great fun and undoubtedly similar to orienteering in many respects, but ranking points??
I've always thought including sprint and urban events in the ranking list is like comparing apples and oranges. Now we're including pumpkins!
Edit: pumpkins obviously given the date!

800 miles return and overnight expense squeezed into a weekend for excellent terrain that I've run on before on quite a few occasions times, versus 50 relaxed miles to try out a brand new style (in this country) which proved superb fun and technically intense. No competition? Agree on that, but perhaps not in terms of which way. (Of course, what we should all have really been doing is attending a certain EGM.... )

So similar, that it's even called orienteering! Have to admit, I was surprised at the ranking points too, but then I can never understand why long boring slogs in technically easy terrain count for ranking points either! I certainly found the York race technically more demanding than most outdoor events.

That's why we have proxy voting. You can have democracy, and fun, at the same time!
I would have loved to have tried the indoor event. I've just spent 5 minutes looking at the map trying to work out how you get to level 3 if not via level 2.
That said, with WMOC now only 24 weeks away, I should probably have gone with the Adams Family for 2 days of quality racing on superb sand dune terrain.

Aye. You might live to regret that decision . Tough weekends courses planned by a couple of WMOC regulars!
Orienteering - its no walk in the park

Definitely the best move.

I took almost as long trying to orientate the map at the start (complete brainstorm, induced partly by the fact that the corridor directly in front of me was in fact on a different level. So easy in hindsight, as always). After that it was easy.....

Re: First York Indoor Cup
I thoroughly enjoyed the event. I was surprised by how many people were clearly completely bemused.
You can get from level 1 to level 3 up staircase A.

Nice one. Duly Tweeted by Moravian with a tag to Moray's Director of Education who seems to have a soft spot for orienteering. We'll see if he gets the hint. The new Elgin Academy would be perfect. One can but hope.
