MDOC (Manchester & District Orienteering Club) organised 'street orienteering' in Bollington. The aim of this event is to use the simple map of bollington to find clues (such as the number on a lamp-post) - each clue has a points value.
The event lasted 60mins and there were penalties for arriving back late.
Run England members Philip, Sarah & Jenny formed a team and did really well. It was BRILLIANT fun. There is another event in Macclesfield on Thursday 28th February - talk to Jenny, Sarah or Philip to hear their thoughts. Could be a good night out.

Neil - 27th out of 59 with 368 points

I am sure there will be debates about the results. :-)

Map shown below - each control (checkpoint) has a number (eg 32, 48 etc..) The points value was 10 for anything in the 10s, 20 for anything in the 20s up to 50 for anything in the 50s. Checkpoints were things like lamp-posts, telegraph poles, footpath signs.
