Report
Another great STAG event thanks to the input from not just myself but Fredrik, Marta, Andy, Iain, Peter, Sara, Rudi, Colin and Helen.
We again welcomed a group from Shettleston Harriers Junior Hill runners and well done on completing a challenging experience!
At the end of the day, Orienteering is a simple concept but the work behind the scenes from volunteers should never be under estimated.
I think this is the first time I have ever been able or wanted to run at a STAG Sunday event in over 40 years! This was only possible because of the support given by those named above. Did I enjoy it? Nearly but with my Garmin failing and having to be helped by Hanne to find '51' the Bill Melville ' Perfect Run' is still to come!
Marta and Fredrik are rightly applauded for their course(s) and their commitment to our Club - thank-you so much. The soup etc was a very welcome extra.
Apologies that our wee splits printer's motor died but the reserve printer managed to run off splits for a few just before 1pm.
