JK 2016

Well done to all the members of MWOC who travelled to Yorkshire to compete at the JK over the Easter weekend, which is the largest annual orienteering event held in the UK. Day one was a sprint event held at Leeds University, day two and day three were cross country events with the times added up over the two days, held at Wass Forest in the North Yorkshire Moors and Kilnsey in the Yorkshire Dales, with the relay being held at Storthes Hall close to Huddersfield. The heavy hail, sleet and snow on the exposed Kilnsey was an added challenge for anyone running later in the day – well done to all and thanks to the MWOC tent for providing much needed shelter! The penguin huddle of a record number of Welsh orienteers in a tent helped provide added warmth! Notable results from MWOC members were as follows - Apologies if I have left anyone out

W12 4th Hannah Thomas – by 19 seconds!

W55 16th Kate O Sullivan

M16A 14th William Thomas

M18E 17th Joe Thomas
