RESULTS FROM ROUGH CLOSE 

At the Rough Close Scout Camp, near Tile Hill, Harrison McCartney M12 took on the challenge, from his father, of planning and organising a fine event. He checked the area over at the start of his school holidays, planned the courses and drew them on OCAD, the computer aided design programme for producing orienteering maps, and handled the registration at the event. His father, Chris, was pleased with how he well he coped considering his age and also thanked his mother and Harrison’s young sister Ella-Rose who downloaded results. 

Come and join us in Coventry & Warwickshire countryside and parks for the ultimate family friendly outdoor sport! NEXT EVENT
