LOC at the Montane Spine Winter Race
Congratulations to LOC member Ian Haslett who, earlier today (Fri 16th), completed the full Montane Spine Winter Race, just a mere 268 miles along the full length of the Pennine Way from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders ! Ian left Edale at 8am on Sunday morning and took a total time of 125 hours 26 minutes and 37 seconds in what has looked like a seriously brutal edition of the race, earning himself a top 20 finish and taking a massive chunk off his previous time.

LOC Family ProjectFinal reports.... Thanks Kath
This month we reach the end of the LOC Family Project. We have had an exciting three years developing new initiatives to raise the profile of orienteering and make our events more attractive to families.
It has been a real pleasure to lead the club in this project, but strong volunteer support from club members has been absolutely essential to the delivery all these activities and initiatives and to give families a warm welcome - it’s been a real team effort.
We have introduced orienteering to literally hundreds of local families! We’ve made great progress in attracting younger members to the club and hopefully this trend will continue into the future.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the LOC Family Project in any way and to all the families who have come along and taken part.
