MOR Darnaway Event

Our Darnaway event day dawned warm and sunny and there was a good turnout, despite all our junior stars being away for the weekend. A big thank you from Morag (organiser) to everyone for helping to ensure the event was another Moravian success.

I really appreciated so many offers of help and the time that you all gave either before or after your run (or both in some cases!) Thanks too to those of you who came along, even though you weren’t participating in the event today.  Every single one of you helped to ensure that the event ran smoothly.

A particular thank you to Ewart Scott who stepped in as Controller at fairly short notice and has spent many hours in the forest in the run up to today’s event.

Controllers Comments:

Thanks to Moravian for asking me to control their regional event at Darnaway. My last time in Darnaway was in 2015 during the S6D, some of the area seemed more runnable then.

Peter did a great job with the courses, given the fact there is a line feature within a relatively short distance from every control. Unavoidable for this area. It’s not easy planning highly technical courses in such areas.

We shortened Brown to avoid some head high bracken, and took similar action with Blue and Green, reducing visiting what I heard described as “enthusiastic undergrowth” in places. Apologies for the map correction. I inadvertently suggested the wrong symbol number when sending on my map updates.

Ewart Scott.

Thanks to the kind permission of the Earl of Moray and Moray Estates, for some excellent orienteering forest.

Thursday Hill Training

We hold informal hill training sessions every Thursday morning between 09:30 - 10:30 in Forres.  We meet at Grant Park, run for about an hour, usually around Cluny Hill (depending on how energetic we are feeling!) and then enjoy a coffee and chat.

About Us

runner

Moravian Orienteering Club has been in existence since 1974. We are located in the North East of Scotland, where we have access to some of the best orienteering terrain in Scotland.

Our membership come from Moray, Nairn and historic Banffshire. We have a core of active members who orienteer all over the world; some of our members are in Scottish or GB Squads, others have represented Scotland or Great Britain, but the majority are recreational orienteers who love the challenge of navigating and running in Moray's fantastic countryside.

Orienteering is a sport for all the family, ages and abilities, so we aim to be inclusive in everything we do, and provide a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment for all. We encourage participation and involvement in all our events, and want to help members develop as orienteers, with a full range of regular coaching opportunities.

Contact us here:  club@mor.scot

 

Membership

Membership through British Orienteering for 2023 costs £25 for adults and £7 for juniors (under 21).  This automatically gives you membership of Scottish Orienteering.  Membership through Scottish Orienteering alone for 2023 costs £10 for adults and £2 for juniors (under 21).  The sport of orienteering heavily subsidises junior membership because we know how important it is to have young people in our sport.  If your son or daughter is joining, we'd encourage an adult family member to join too in order to help the sport grow in the UK.

Please note that non-members of an orienteering club are only covered under our insurance for 3 events.
