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!

I was west midlands schools orienteering champion a long time ago - more to do with the fact I could run fairly fast than being any good at using a compass tho!! hehe!!!

runs4wine - I used to be the exact opposite! I was pretty good because I was good at the map/compass thingy and a slower runner.

Going to do an event tomorrow. POTOC local informal one at Biddulph Grange. Not sure how long the courses are. If I'm not back by Sunday, send out a search party.
