SoSOL1 - 2009/10Barr Wood, 8 November
The first South of Scotland Orienteering League event of the new season took place on a beautiful morning, with a great ESOC attendance.
Barr Wood is near Stirling, and was very autumnal, with frost on the ground and wonderful colours in the beech foliage. It’s a compact area with some complex terrain, and the longer courses looped around to make the most of it. There was a lot of dead bracken in the open areas, and marshes in the hollows; despite this, most enjoyed their courses, and the lower areas in the beech woods were delightful.
Top ten places for ESOC members were as follows:
White – Andie Caldwell, Kerry Wood, Peter Fawthrop, Rachel Brown, Ben Brown
Yellow – Jamie Fawthrop
Orange – Marie Johnston
Light Green – Gavin Williams, Jamie Cunningham, Eilidh Nolan, Ciaran Johnston
Green – Alison Cunningham, Bill Stevenson, Alastair Lessells, Neil Williams
Blue – Clive Masson, Andrew Lindsay, Mark Wood
Brown – Tom Ryan
