In the last few years we have travelled abroad in February for our orienteering fix.It has the benefit of orienteering in different terrain whilst also, usually, being a bit warmer than the UK.
In 2026 we travelled to Southern Spain for the Malaga Orienteering Sprint Camp. (MOSC)
This has previously been held in 2020 and 2024. We went in 2024 and loved it so much that we were keen to do it again.
At the local qualifying heat of the Compass Sport Trophy held at Brandon Country Park on 22nd February, SUFFOC gained 3rd place and will be invited to the final in the autumn.
We had a fantastic turnout of 24 competitors across most of the classes.The final scores were very close, as we were only 2 points behind second placed LOG.
The top 13 scores count towards the total, but even those whose scores didn’t count towards our total may have pushed other club scores down.
