2019 Scottish Orienteering Championships Report

With a mixed weekend of weather, the 2019 Scottish Orienteering Championships weekend took place in Dumfries & Galloway, with the Individual Championships taking place in Dalbeattie Forest on Saturday 25th May and the Relay Championships at Drumlanrig Estate, near Thornhill, on Sunday 26th May.

Thank you to SOLWAY Orienteers for hosting and to Ayrshire Orienteers for “taking the driving seat” on Sunday.

Well done to everyone who took part in over technical and challenging weekend weekend and thank you to all the amazing volunteers who had some soggy volunteering duties but conducted them all with a smile and enthusiasm!

Tim O’Donoghue, organiser and SOC/SRC Co-ordinator, said of the event:

“A big thank you to all the people who came to the Scottish Championships weekend in Dumfries and Galloway.
“We expected that Dalbeattie Forest would provide a tough orienteering challenge while the relays at Drumlanrig would be fast. Both met these expectations.
“There was a problem with control 173 on the Saturday as it was located about 25m away from the re-entrant drawn on the map. On one course several competitors missed the control, and this led to the decision to void the legs into and from 173. There was a further protest that this action was too severe for other courses where the leading contenders all punched 173, so a further adjustment was made: on some courses only the leg into 173 has been voided.
“These alterations were completed shortly before the prize-giving ceremony and resulted in a few changes in positions in classes. The organiser wishes to apologise to people who may have been surprised by the changes – the intent has been to assess relative positions by use of the maximum number of valid legs for each course/class.”
