Comments
An excellent weekends orienteering. Surely Loch Vaa is the premier area for orienteering.
Yesterday at Loch Vaa was probably my most enjoyable day's orienteering.
What a brilliant event today, thanks to the BASOC team.
The courses at Anagach and Loch Vaa were made most enjoyable by what was obviously a great team effort on the part of the club.
Today's forest and course were as good as I've ever experienced. Awesome blue course today - special thanks to the planners
