The last two weekends have been busy for the Scottish Elite & Development Squad as they had their first two trips of the season. The Achnamara trip provided great terrain for technical trainings, gorgeous weather for swimming and hill running, and a cosy indoor space for food and board games. The Lakes trip consisted of some night o, technical training, racing and spectating a hill race, and a Galoppen. Thank you to Adam and Alex from EUOC for organising the trips, and thank you to Matthew for supporting some of our developing orienteers as they work towards TD5 proficiency.
