Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Haven't done any for ages. Used to be a Walton Chaser in my youth. I think I did an informal POTOC event about 3/4 years ago and managed to come 3rd. Thank you for reminding me of the wonders of orienteering - I shall keep an eye out for future events & polish up my compass.

<grumbles at new-fangled electronics> Back in my day, you had to punch holes in your control card with pointy sticks, and draw the controls on your map with your own blood...

Yes I remember those days too, it was around the same time flesh eating braken and brambles growing taller then me were the dominant vegetation in most areas and all courses were 5 miles uphill in the snow... :)
