SOG 7Windlesham House School SprintSat 05 June, 2021

Report

Planners comments: I always think it’s a privilege to be able access Windlesham’s fabulous grounds. I hope everyone enjoyed it and found the courses as mentally challenging as was intended! Feedback seemed very positive, helped I’m sure by us having a glorious day.

It was a pleasure to see many of the local orienteering community again after so long and have a good natter on the start line.

Thanks to John and the parking team, Joe and SI crew, Mike for all things map related, and Julie for sorting access, including to some of the poshest toilets on the SO circuit.
