Last Results: Sunday 9th September - South of Scotland League race at Windy Hill (Clyde Muirshiel)
Clyde hosted a South of Scotland Orienteering League event at Windy Hill (Clyde Muirshiel Country Park near Lochwinnoch) on Sunday 9th September. Results, BOF ranking points, SoSOL league table, Routegadet, and Winsplits are all available.
Many thanks for Dave and Ann Robertson (assisted by Alastair Dunlop) for organising the CLYDE training session at Gleniffer Braes last Saturday morning. The area has definitely improved in recent years, and the “in and out” exercise provided invaluable practice of entering low-visibility areas.

Full results can be found here.

John Muir Country Park near Dunbar provided an excellent location for the Scottish Night Championships 2019 on a cold but clear and still evening last Saturday. The sand dunes posed a particularly stern technical challenge in the dark, but CLYDE still emerged with three Scottish Night Orienteering Champions, namely Steve Wilson in M50, Dave Robertson in M55 and Christine Paterson in W60, as well as a 3rd place for Rachel Wilson in W50. Full results are here.

While some CLYDEsiders were enjoying the EUOC Big Weekend Urban Race in Edinburgh on Saturday 26th January, five CLYDEsiders, namely Iain Mennie (Leg 1), Donald Petrie and Mirjam Allik (Leg 2), Steve Wilson and Ty Solomon (Leg 3), and “Patrick Walder” (actually Iain Mennie again) (Leg 4) were battling the elements at the Devil’s Burdens Relay in the Lomonds of Fife. The detailed results aren’t out yet, but a strong team performance saw us halve our overall position (from 83 to 45) and take half an hour off our time (from 4:17 to 3:49) compared to last year. Well done to everyone who played their part in a great day out, and, who knows, perhaps next year we’ll have two CLYDE teams battling it out with each other?
