Nearly 70 juniors from Lakeland Orienteering Club (LOC) represented their schools in the British Schools Orienteering Championships, on Sunday 20th November 2011 at Beecraigs Country Park, Linlithgow in Scotland. 

63 of these from Ulverston Victoria High School.  They were accompanied on the 8 hour round trip by a dozen coaches and parents.

 

The results were outstanding.  There were four individual Gold Medals from Hannah Cleary-Hughes, Girls Year 9; Natalie Beadle, Girls Year 10; Andrew Brockbank, Boys 9 and Will Rigg, Boys 11. Megan Beard, Girls 13 and Angus Dobson Boys 11 won individual Bronze Medals.

 Finally, in a very tense tussle, UVHS came second in the Large Secondary SchoolsTrophy, just missing out to Banchory Academy by 4 points.
