SOL 2, 2022Coille Nathais, 27 February
Lock Eck Orienteers were the organisers of the second event in the 2022 Scottish Orienteering League. There was a modest ESOC entry, but those who made the journey enjoyed good courses in excellent terrain.
This event was one of the first to be postponed in 2020, so it was great to get there at last! Coille Nathais is just west of Taynuilt, at the south end of Loch Etive. It’s a lovely area of deciduous woodland (birch and oak), with some open moorland and grassy fields, many marshes, and lots of contour detail throughout, which made for interesting navigation. The weather was cool, but fine and quite sunny, though underfoot conditions were very wet after recent bad weather. There was a well-stocked ScotJOS cake stall which was much appreciated, some visiting before AND after their runs.
ESOC members in the top half of the results for their course were:
Blue (31 competitors) - Keith Brown 6th
Short Blue (27) - Crawford Lindsay 9th
Green (37) - Les Dalgleish 5th, Roger Garnett 13th
Short Green (24) - Mary Williams 2nd, Sally Lindsay 3rd, Margaret Dalgleish 4th
Light Green (28) - Calum Robertson 10th
