Please find below the overall and class results. The positions are decided on points and in the case of draws overall time. In the overall results the vets demonstrated that they have great strength as well as wisdom, taking 5 of the top 7 places. The top four positions were all very closely fought for with Hanno just picking up an extra point penalty by a mere 3 seconds! (not sure he has forgiven the timekeeper yet!). The winner of the two female classes, Helen and Jude, drew for fifth place overall. The best route, from looking at control cards and talking to people afterwards, seems to have been to have gone up into old Headington and then down parallel to the London Road and finally back along the edge of the Meadows, on the New Marston side, picking off as many controls as possible. Having said that though, Luke went via Park Town and university parks. Thanks for those that took part; it made all the set-up work worthwhile. If this has wetted your appetite for orienteering, Luke is organising an event at Waterperry Wood, just North of Wheatley on the 1st September. Details will be on the TVOC website: www.tvoc.org.uk.
