Re: UK Urban League 2018
According to the BO fixture list, both days of the Edinburgh Big Weekend (20/21 Jan) are marked as UK Orienteering League although right enough it doesn't come up when searching for urban events. Do they know something you don't?

The Edinburgh City Race (Saturday 20th) is urban, and is also the 10th anniversary of the event.

Sorry meant to say that. It's what comes of waking up in the middle of the night and trying to distract oneself while half awake.

Digging a little deeper I've come across 42 Urbans for 2018 - the Yorkshire Urban League looking particularly tasty for 2018 (not a plug!)

SYO events now marked as urban. Sheffield City Race on 8th July is back to the City Centre (a plug!), being run from our maze at Cliffhanger, with the British Bouldering Championships on the other side of Devonshire Green.

And I've been involved in all 11
As a special treat this year there's an indoor event on Friday night. Can we get that into the UKUL - after all, how urban can you get?
