The “MapRun” app allows you to set up and take part in “Virtual” orienteering courses using your smartphone. You run a course using either the map on your phone screen or a paper version, and your phone will automatically beep when you reach the correct location of each control (nothing marking it on the ground). At the end of the course your results and split times can be saved into a results table alongside others who have run the course.

Clashes with the Scottish school examinations and the World Schools Championships meant that there was only a small CLYDE contingent at this year’s British Championships held in Yorkshire on the weekend on 4th to 6th May. The CLYDE highlight was a Bronze medal for Donald Petrie (M60) in the Individual Championships held on a very fast area at Arncliffe and Kilnsey North, while the Relay Championships held at Middleton Park saw the debut of CLYDE’s first ever W60 team. Full results can be found here.

A small but dedicated group of CLYDE members made the long trip south to Farnborough and Newbury for the JK International Festival of Orienteering 2019 held over the Easter weekend. The standout performances on a weekend of tough racing in very hot and sunny conditions were by Donald Petrie, who won M60 on all three days and was awarded the trophy for the best performance by a male orienteer over the entire weekend, and Amelia Petrie, who took the silver medal in the W60 Sprint Race held at Aldershot Garrison. There was also success for CLYDE member Emma Wilson who was part of the Edinburgh University team which won the Women’s Trophy on the JK Relays held at Minley. Full results will eventually be here.

This weekend saw the 31st, and last, Tinto Twin races. A cold, clear night race followed by a day race (in a blizzard). CLYDE had class winners in Kirsten (W16), Alastair Dunlop (M45) and Dave Robertson (M55). Well done to all who took part, and many thanks to Tinto for running such a magnificent, idiosyncratic, annual series for so many years. Provisional Results and more to follow on the Tinto website.
