Support Megan and the British Team at the World Orienteering Championships in Latvia 4-11th Aug 2018

Dear orienteers

I am writing to ask you to help support Megan and the rest of the GB team at this year's World Championships in Latvia from 4th-11th August by sending a donation and a message of support. 

The GB team get a little help from British Orienteering (entry fees and accreditation are paid for). Athletes have to fund everything else – travel and accommodation in Latvia, transport to the races and so on; in addition many have travelled in advance to Latvia to join training camps set up by other nations!

All the athletes are really proud to represent Britain and it also means a great deal to them that the wider orienteering community take an interest in their achievements so it is lovely for them to get messages of support. 

We set up ontheredline.org.uk to help make it easier to follow the British Orienteering Team as we feel this is a good way to promote orienteering as the challenging sport it is. The team performed really well at the European Championships with a bronze medal (Kris Jones) and several podium places.

We have set up a mydonate page for the team with money donated going via the charity The Orienteering Foundation. This has the benefit of including gift aid (and also for those who are in the higher tax bracket, there is the added benefit of claiming 20% back). The Orienteering Foundation report annually on the distribution of their funds.

Please can you send a donation (small or large) and a message to the team at: 

https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/orienteeringfoundationwoc

And of course follow the team ontheredline.org.uk

many thanks

Sarah Brown (on behalf of the GB team)

Megan & Ben Scandinavian Tour

Megan Carter-Davies training with Rajamaen Rykment,

Megan Carter-Davies MWOC and Ben Mitchell SBOC have been enjoying the full range of weather options in Finland where they have been training and racing with their Finnish club Rajamaen Rykmentii including the beautiful Langhagaberget forest.  They are both competing for the club in the famous Swedish 10mila orienteering relay race which will be held near Stockholm this year. The race was first held in 1945 – the womens race has 5 daytime legs and the  mens race has 10 legs totalling over 100km including the infamous long night leg of 18km which makes it one of the most challenging relays you can take part in. They have now taken the ferry to Sweden to join Fay Walsh MWOC  and are planning to train in the fantastic Lunsen forest tomorrow. Fay will also be competing in 10mila with her Swedish club OK Linne.
