Derby Tup Jan 2019 8:57am, 31 Jan 2019 28,776 posts	0 Derby Tup Hope it goes well fozzy. Stef got into running through orienteering at school and loves nap and compass work (I’m not a fan). Is there any chance of her obtaining a map after the event please? The little excerpt on the web-site looks stunning!
Oranj Jan 2019 9:22am, 31 Jan 2019 1,362 posts	0 Oranj Ah Ha, I hope it goes well fozzy. I am pondering sticking in an entry. Derby Tup - there will almost certainly be a map on boc.routegadget.co.uk after the event.
rf_fozzy Jan 2019 9:24am, 31 Jan 2019 8,338 posts	0 rf_fozzy I'd have thought you'd have been well up for a bit of running using a compass, followed by a nap on the hillside DT! (only in the summer though obviously!) Possibly on maps. It depends on how many extras we order and who they go to after the event. For major events, we only order maps for Pre-entries plus maybe a few spares. I'm hoping to add a couple of spare blank maps in the order, so I'll ask....
