Tuesday=O, we need your thoughts on this!

Windy Ridge

Tuesday=O started in 2009 and was the inspiration of Hilary Quick. For the first year, it ran from April to October; in 2010 BASOC members asked “Why is this stopping?” and so T=DarkO happened. Since then there has been something on almost every Tuesday night from 6:30pm to 7:30pm (exceptions have been driven by the weather conditions).

Summer orienteering at Coast and Islands

Corranbuie N

Coast and Islands is a multiday orienteering event with low key organisation and quality orienteering on mainly new areas! Entries are limited to 200 competitors and this year you entered a group number (so you could be with friends) and this was your start block for each day. This meant very little queueing at the start and there was flexibility regarding your actual start time.
