On this occasion - it's the boys who win (overall its now 5 wins each Boys v Girls). Well done to Hilary and those behind the scenes for another positive promo.

Good idea of what orienteering is about from the programme. The children were caoched and then seen running between controls, going off paths into terrain. shame the presenter couldn't keep up with the boy!! Well done to hilary and all who helped set up the programme.

Tatty - glad that you thought it was OK! Caroline did all the work setting up the contact with the programme and she and Laura did an excellent job putting up banners in the park and making sure that the controls didn't 'walk' during the 5 hours which it took to do the filming!!
There are 2 video clips on the CBBC Sportsround web site at:

Hilary - we weren't being sarcastic. It's just that so often what is put across as orienteering is completely incorrect and this was so good

It wasn't OK Hilary, it was excellent! Congratulations to everyone involved - Are NOC thinking of adopting Andy the footballer?!
