Race 2 of the Hungaria Cupa today. A very enjoyable middle distance race but stupidly I let my focus bubble get breached and was distracted into making an error. Checked my CD, did the drill, but the mismatch did not register. Whoops! #orienteering #hungariacup @ukdef_hun

The third day of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024! The area was a little less hilly and mostly in woodland today. Evening activity was a "Mobile-O" where using a telephone, one orienteer gives directions to another who doesn't have the map! RAFSport Royal Air Force

Day 4 of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024 was even more hilly than the previous days with over 500m climb for some. Followed by a BeerO event where we were just one place away from the finals. UK Defence in Hungary Royal Air Force @GBRorienteering RAFSport

Final day of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024 was situated in the same area as the previous day, however courses were shorter and had less climb. After the event we headed over to Budapest for their National Day's Fireworks display! 🎆 UK in Hungary UK Defence in Hungary RAFSport

En route to the #Barbican for another #LondonCityRace in Royal Air Force colours! 12 km of rapid route choice / fast running around the intricate streets of the Square Mile + the multi-level map chaos of the Barbican Centre. Good luck LincolnOrienteering and RAF Orienteering runners!

Thanks to BOF & all the clubs that helped organise the JK 2025. Brilliant 4 days of orienteering from Sheffield City Centre to the dreaded boulder fields of Wharncliffe!

Not only visited Austria in July. But also Shetland Islands, as far North as you can get in the UK! Shetland certianly poses a unique enviorment for orienteering, with very few trees, and rocky terrain. That was followed by another week in the Dee Valley. youtube.com/@raforienteeri…
