It's been quite a hectic time of year with major events in rapid succession. The training weekend in the Lakes was a great success with over 50 people taking part from SYO and SHUOC. Definitely something to be repeated. We missed out winning CompassSport Cup but we are well on our way to winning the UK Relay League. Just as important though is the fact that we had five junior relay teams competing at the British. For juniors at their first British Relay it was a slightly nerve-racking but hopefully enjoyable experience. The results from CompassSport Cup show that we need depth in all areas. We are still very weak in the junior classes but a couple of other classes suffered from lack of depth - and a few mistakes... Still there's always next year, and the final is in Yorkshire!!
The Annual Footpath Relay starts on our doorstep this year at the Sportsman Inn, Lodge Moor followed by a club summer social at The Three Merry Lads. Even if you aren't running come along and join in.
There have been two requests for help at the Scottish Six Days. One is printed in this edition, one was printed in last edition. Even in a club the size of SYO it is very difficult to get people willing to plan, control and organise but at least we can usually get enough help on the day. The Scottish 6 Days is a much bigger event organised by much smaller clubs so if you can offer any help I know it would be much appreciated.

This years JK Relays were held at Hawley and Honley Commons, a fast and flattish Army training area with plenty of paths and tracks making for easy but very fast orienteering. For some reason SYO didn't enter anything like the number of teams as in previous years. The shortfall was entirely made up of the older teams; we had four teams in the Women's Open and three teams in the JK Trophy and only one team in any of the veteran classes, this being the M120+. I would be interested to know why people decided not to bother with the JK Relay this year: was it the reduced choice of class, or my policy of prioritising the Open classes?
The one team in the M120+ class was a bit of a 'frown-together' team made up of the few veterans that wanted to run. Obviously to be competitive in that class a team of three M40s would be ideal. However, our team included a M55 and was always going to struggle, finishing 56th out of 80 teams that finished.
In the JK Trophy (the Men's Open) I had the usual team selection problems. I had a difficult decision whether to select myself or Bill Edwards for the final place in the first team. In the end I selected myself, although looking at the split times for the individual legs it would have made no difference had Bill been in the team. Mark Chapman ran first leg, despite a few self-doubts about his fitness after the long Classic Race the day before. He ran steadily to put the team in seventh place, well in touch with the leading pack after the first leg. I ran well on second leg to pull the team up to third despite a nasty fall halfway round. With Dave Peel and Jamie Stevenson to come we were well placed to win the race. Sure enough, Dave produced a strong run to send Jamie out in the lead. This was not something Jamie was used to: last year we had always relied on him to make up ground on the last leg (and he usually did!). Dickie Wren of EPOC went out second on last leg, about 1 minute down. Although Dickie had been running very well we didn't give him any chance of catching Jamie who had won M2lE in the Individual Race. However, as they reached the spectator control, about one third of the way round, Jamie had been caught! We later found out that Jamie had made an uncharacteristic mistake, so allowing Dickie to make up ground. However Jamie was able to use his superior speed over the remainder of the course to pull away again and bring the team in to win!
Our first team in the Women's Open was not as strong as last year. We were missing Karen Dalton through injury and Jenny James who didn't feel she'd recovered sufficiently from illness to run in the first team. The team therefore consisted of Helen Hargreaves, Jo Stevenson and Hilary Bloor. They all ran steadily to finish 5th, a little disappointing after previous years' successes, but still a good foundation for further success in future rounds of the UK Relay League.
When we were driving along the Stocksbridge Bypass through several inches of snow with a blizzard blowing, I wondered just how far towards the Lake District we were actually going to get. The Bradfield pupils didn't seem a bit concerned and were already delving into their lunch packs (there were still 5 hours to go before lunchtime). However, although the snow was still driving across the M1 it was not laying on the road, so things were looking up weather-wise. By the time we arrived at Tarn Hows, the sun was shining and it was almost warm. Nick Lightfoot had prepared 2 exercises round on the Tarn Hows map very much with the pupils in mind. They were put into small groups with a trainer and then had to talk their way round the course, rather like an Advanced Driving Test. The course in the morning used handrails such as paths, walls, and streams while the afternoon exercise was set on higher ground and used more difficult features such as hills, crags and re-entrants. The pupils entered into the training with their usual enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoyed both courses. We then set off for Hawkshead Youth Hostel where we had booked in for the night. The next day dawned bright and clear (I couldn't believe our luck) as we left for Great Tower Wood clutching our YHA packed lunches. Great Tower Wood is actually a Scout camp and offered such luxuries as proper toilets and a barn to shelter in. Nick had organised a short Light Green/Green course to be done by the pupils on their own or in pairs with trainers stationed at various points around the course. All the pupils finished the course needing just a bit of help here and there. To finish the weekend Nick had arranged a relay race. As the organisation for this was still going on, even as we walked up to the start area, I remained confused throughout the whole exercise. I don't think it was just me. When an orienteer (who shall remain nameless) ran into the start area, everyone cheered him as a first leg finisher, only to be greeted by a puzzled 'But I've only been for a pee!'. The Bradfield pupils were running in a 'star' race. I have absolutely no idea what the SYO and SHUOC orienteers were doing, something to do with hats. Anyway, Bradfield seemed to know exactly what they were doing and on the word 'Go' raced off into the woods in all directions. They seemed to thrive on the pressure of a race and apart from a lost control card they all found all their controls. At the end of the day when Colin asked who would like to run a Light Green in the British Champs, they all threw up their hands! A very successful weekend, only marred by one of the pupils hurting his ankle when running into the finish during the relay. First aiders were on hand to help and when Colin phoned up the boy's parents the next day he was told that he had sprained his ankle but it was on the mend. An excellent weekend throughly enjoyed by all the Bradfield group. Oh yes, the journey home. We left the Scout camp at 3.30pm and did not get to Sheffield until 10.30pm. The police had closed the M6 between Kendal and Lancaster and sent us down the A6 to the Lancaster junction. This journey of 15 miles took us 4 hours! Bradfield just delved into their bags and produced magazines to pass round, a pack of playing cards, and a large bag of uncooked pasta which was eaten with gusto despite my warnings of tummyache! Many thanks to Nick Lightfoot, Sally and John Soady, Bill Hanley and others who helped to make the weekend a success. Also thanks to Malcolm Reed, a teacher from Bradfield, who kindly gave up his weekend to drive the school bus in sometimes appalling conditions and under trying circumstances, but who remained calm and serene throughout.

As many of you know, because you kindly sponsored me, I ran my first marathon in London on 18th April. The atmosphere and the crowds were even better than I had been led to believe they would be and the weather at the start on Black Heath was better than the forecasters led us to believe, a pleasant dry, sometimes sunny 7 degrees. Everything was incredibly well organised with a fleet of TNT articulated lorries collecting kit bags to take to the finish. The start was organised in blocks with the elite runners first and the rest of us behind in blocks arranged by our predicted times. Having been training steadily since the beginning of December I felt confident of finishing and my aim was to do so in reasonable style in under 3 hours 45 minutes. I crossed the start line in about 3+ minutes feeling good but perhaps doing too much ducking and weaving for my own good as the pace was erratic for the first 5 miles. We passed the first of many brass and steel bands at 3 miles and I could not believe how many people were out cheering. This set the tone for spectating for the whole run and even the bleak section of the route which loops round the Isle of Dogs had plenty of encouraging crowds. Lots of children were standing at the roadside to 'give you five' and if areas of crowd were a bit quiet when I approached them it was easy to get a cheer going. I saw my wife, Ruth, for the first time shortly after the Cutty Sark at 8 miles when I seemed to be in the odd company of two French Maids and the Straw Man (complete with a bird on his head.) After this there was a bit more space and it was possible to run with an easier rhythm. The next few miles flew past with deceptive ease and I soon approached what for me was the most impressive sight of the whole run. Tower Bridge with its great suspension cables and towers was lined four deep with spectators on either side and a stream of runners moving up the gentle incline of the road. Passing the 13 mile mark I got my first hint that things may be going wrong; I had run my fastest ever half marathon in 1 hour 35 minutes and there was a warm numb feeling spreading up both legs which I had never felt before. I was still managing to run 7+ minute miles with little apparent effort so I ignored the warning signs as I was well ahead of my pre-race plan of 8 minute miles and assumed I could slow down later if needed. Oh, the arrogance of the beginner! Heading east at 14 miles I saw the elite men and women running west at 21 miles and was awed by their smooth apparently effortless running. Here I received encouragement from some of Killamash Kestrel running club who had travelled down to support our runners but did not spot Ruth who was waiting along this section. I had been told that the Isle of Dogs was a desolate section but it turned out to be interesting running around Canary Wharf and still with many spectators. 18 to 20 miles saw me starting to slow down to 8 then 9 minute miles but I was not too uncomfortable and was still confident of running under 3+ hours. From 22 miles my body started failing from the waist down. My legs slowed to a jog and runners were steadily passing me. I got cramp in various combinations of calves and thighs and I had to walk which was never in my master plan for the race. The cobbles at the Tower were covered in carpet but were still agony to jog on. 3+ hours was now impossible but I was determined to finish in under 3+ hours from crossing the start line. The crowd was a great source of encouragement as I staggered along the embankment: cheers such as 'Come on son you can run a bit further!' and supplies of Jelly Babies were gratefully received; even a glass of cider slipped down amazingly smoothly. I met Ruth again here and she jogged along encouraging me for a few hundred yards before rushing off to the finish. She later said I looked so awful she was unsure whether I would finish; a doubt which never crossed my mind. I had originally entered the marathon for my own satisfaction and I only obtained sponsorship over the last few weeks when I was sure I would be up to the run. Most sponsors had given their donations already and I had pledged to return them if I failed to finish. Others had promised extra money if I actually finished and I had one 'friend' who offered double money for a time under 4 hours. Raising money for MS support kept me going at this point along with the knowledge that my pain was temporary and self-inflicted in contrast to my patients who suffer from MS. Jogging, walking, staggering up to Buckingham Palace I was frustrated at being passed by so many runners but my legs would just not respond to instructions to go faster. A foreign competitor started to weave around in front of me before collapsing to be attended by the ever present St John's Ambulance team. Into the Mall and the welcome sight of the finish 3 hours 42 minutes after I crossed the start line 26 miles before. As always the marshals were wonderful, taking off the timing chip from my left shoe, putting a medal around my neck and offering soothing words: 'Are you OK son?' 'Just take your time'. I did not dare to sit down so I collected my kit bag and went off to meet Ruth and the other runners from our club, where I could safely lie down in the knowledge that friendly hands could in due course get me back onto my feet. Ruth was elated both by my respectable finishing time and by the excitement reverberating throughout London as she galloped between spectator points travelling on foot, by bus and by tube. In contrast I felt flat with disappointment at failing to have kept running comfortably throughout the race, due not to lack of training but to the error of running too fast for the first 16 mile. 'Never again' I groaned, (and meant it) while the other runners around me laughed saying, 'We've all said that before'. A few weeks later what do I feel? I feel humbled by everyone's generosity in donating over £l,700 for MS charities. I am seriously contemplating running the Nottingham marathon to try to get under 3+ hours but I am uncertain about the time commitment involved in a further 4 months road running training. Above all I am delighted I have now run a London Marathon, but the challenge, excitement and satisfaction of orienteering will continue to win my affection hands down! On the back of my medal it says 'SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION' and I will continue with my journey.

The British Relays were held at Cartmel in southern Cumbria on 9th May. In contrast to the JK, SYO had a great number of teams in a whole range of classes. Apart from the usual Men's and Women's Open teams and a selection of veteran teams, we had quite a number of junior teams competing as well. This was largely due to Colin Best's efforts in introducing a number of his school children to the sport. As newcomers to the sport, they did well to get to a level where they could compete in the British Championships so soon after their first orienteering event.
The terrain was a real mixture and was largely made up of a number of pieces of woodland separated by fields and Cartmel Racecourse itself. This meant that there was quite a bit of dead running between woods and large numbers of controls, but made for good head-to-head racing.
I had the usual team selection problems for the Men's Open teams. Dave Peel had a cold and didn't run the British Individual race, but was fresh and declared himself fit for the relay. Jamie Stevenson is an automatic selection if anything like fit and this left a difficult choice for the final place. In contention was Mark Chapman who had run a good first leg at the JK, Bill Edwards and myself who had also both run well at the JK. I decided to pick Mark because of his experience in running first legs. Bill probably had most cause to feel aggrieved as he had comfortably beaten Mark in both the Short and Classic races over the previous two days.
In the event, however, the decision proved good as Mark ran a solid first leg to set Dave Peel off in 16th place only 2 minutes down on the leaders (which didn't include any of the fancied teams). Dave, running with fresh legs, stormed through the field to pull the team up into the lead. So, once again, Jamie set off on the final leg in the lead. Would his experience in the JK help him to deal with the pressure? Presumably it did as he pulled further away from the field to secure a relatively comfortable win. So with maximum points from the first two races in the 1999 UK Relay League, the SYO men are well placed to retain the prize won last year.
In the Women's Open we saw the return to serious competition of Jenny James, who, like Dave Peel had not run the Individual races. With Jenny in the team, Jo Stevenson unfortunately had to be dropped to the second team, but the resulting team looked stronger than at the JK. The question was: could the girls improve on their 5th place at the JK? They needed to in order to have any chance of retaining their UK Relay League title won in 1998.
Hilary Bloor ran a very solid first leg to bring the team in in third place, well in contention. Our secret weapon in Jenny James went out next and proved just what a good relay runner she is, storming into a commanding lead. Of course, Helen Hargreaves going out on last leg was not to know how much of a lead she had and was under similar pressure to Jamie in the mens' race. However, Helen coped well and held onto their lead to give the SYO women their first victory of 1999. That puts SYO firmly back in contention for a repeat double win in the UK Relay League.
Amongst the other classes there were some good SYO performances, but no other victories. Most notable were the 2nd place of the W35 team and the 3rd place of the W50 team. The W35 team consisted of Wendy Smallwood, Dorothy Pelly and Janet Adams. Obviously, Hilary Bloor would have been eligible for this team and with her it would almost certainly have won. Should we as a club be concentrating on the Open classes or trying to win as many of the 'minor' classes as possible?
Apart from the junior classes made up from Colin's juniors, we had another Junior Ad Hoc team consisting of Dan Tett, Zoe Fiander and Claire Sutherland. They performed creditably to finish 9th in their class out of 21 teams.
The next relay event of the year is the Scottish Relays to be held on 30th May near Dumfries. A victory there for the men would seal the 1999 UK Relay League. The final race in the series is the overnight, seven-man (five woman) Harvester Relay to be held this year in September in the Forest of Dean.

The BOC Relays were the culmination of a lot of time and commitment by Colin for his Bradfield orienteering group. They, too, had shown enthusiasm and commitment and 11 were able to make it to Graythwaite on Saturday morning. The weather didn't look too promising as we drove up the M6 in and out of heavy downpours but things improved as we parked the bus on a slope 'to enable you to get out should the field flood!' and as we walked the pupils up to the colour coded area it was turning sunny and warm.
The colour courses were on a separate map and in a completely different part of the forest from the championships, and very low key.
We set them all off and got ready for our own runs. Robin had shown me an old map of Graythwaite and I knew that it was a very intricate area and likely to be tricky, these were the championships after all. After my initial horror at seeing that there were no handrails to guide me even vaguely in the direction I needed to go, I just 'went for it' picking my way through the features and stepping daintily over the mountains of brashings. From 5 to 6 was a really long leg and although I started on a compass bearing going in the right direction, after about a hundred metres I made a 90 degree turn, followed by another 90 degree turn (at least from where I eventually finished up that's what I must have done). I knew I had gone wrong but had no idea how, when or where I was. I eventually got to my number 6 and finished the course and was surprised to find I had taken only 85 minutes, longer than I wanted, but I thought my huge error at cost me hours! As I ran into the finish I was greeted with young cries of 'Come on Mr Best's wife'!!
We had booked Cartmel Church Hall for the night and after a fish and chip supper in Bowness, Colin and Robin spent the evening going over the details of the relay race rules. Colin had sorted the group into 4 relay teams and between them were doing yellow, orange and light green standard courses.
On the day we waited nervously for the first leg runners to arrive. We weren't disappointed as they came flying through the finish in good time. All the pupils had excellent runs, with just two who felt they hadn't done as well as they wanted. They were all delighted at having taken part in such a prestigious event, at having done so well, and were relieved that getting so nervous beforehand had been worthwhile! A very successful weekend (with no traffic problems this time!) Special thanks to Malcolm Reed, a teacher at Colin's school who again gave up his time to drive the bus and help with the group, to Robin who ferried excess luggage and gave a helping hand, and to Selina Odams, one of the older students who organised our packed lunches and breakfast on Sunday.
SYO were beaten into 2nd place in the Compass Sport Cup Final held on Burghfield Common nr Reading on May 23rd by WCH.
We did well on A and D courses (our stars ran brilliantly), less well on B and E and poorly on C, F and G.
Our performance on F and G again highlights the need to persevere with our new juniors.

The Jack Bloor Fund was set up to commemorate the late Jack Bloor, a skilled fell runner, orienteer and mountaineer who spent much of his life helping young men and women to enjoy the challenge of the great outdoors. The purpose of this fund is to provide financial assistance to help young people to undertake adventurous activities or to attend courses or compete in events which improve their athletic skills. During the last fifteen years over £5000 has been awarded in grants to over 80 applicants.
The purpose of these grants has varied from assisting with the costs of participating in group expeditions to Peru and China, to helping with the finance for a c1imbing trip to the Alps and improving orienteering skills by competing in Scandinavia. The trustees are particularly keen to support small expeditions by young people (up to mid-twenties) where applicants display personal initiative.
This is a thank card we received from one of last years applicants;
After all the hard work involved prior to the trip, the five weeks spent in China and Pakistan went very quickly, the experiences will stay with me forever ... This was only made possible with your financial help and I wish to thank you again for your support.
Most of the funds income comes from the annual Jack Bloor fell race on Ilkley Moor and a new source of funds comes from a biennial collection for the late Pete Livesey.
The trustees of the fund are able to accept applications for grants from:

I have now been to the annual YHOA meeting of O clubs in our area for the annual carve up of who does what and when. Our major events next year will be a Badge event on Ewden in February and a National event on Burbage in December. We also have a number of colour coded (C4) events and also C5 local events. The C5 events are aimed at our younger and less experienced orienteers and we can use these to encourage new orienteers. We also have some flexibility on dates for C5 events so could add to the fixtures set out below.
Beyond next year our major events are as follows:-
2001 February 17th - British Night Champs - Cawthorne November 11th - Badge - Blacka Moor 2002 May 12th - British Orienteering Champs - Wharncliffe
The fixtures sub committee has met (myself, Brian Shaw, Martin Ward, Dave Peel) and are working on ensuring mapping and permissions are in place for these major events. However my usual appeal, we do need you to come forward to be planners, controllers and organisers for these events. (If you would prefer to volunteer as a pair especially for the major events this would seem a sensible approach). The immediate need is for next year but also for the majors in 2001 and the British in 2002.
The events planned so far next year are as follows -
January 16th - Rivelin - C4 February 26th - Loxley (SHUOC) - N4 February 27th - Ewden - C3 - Badge April 9th - Wombwell - C5 - local June 4th - Bingham - C5 - local September 10th - Strines - C4 October lst - Sandal Beat - C5 - local November 11th - Beeley (SHUOC) - C4 December 3rd - Burbage - C2 - National December 9th - Club Champs
If you are interested in helping to plan, control or organise please contact me.

This year's Scottish 6 day is being combined with the World Orienteering Championships as any orienteer who hasn't been on the moon for the last year or so will already know. This promises to be the biggest orienteering event in British history with between 5000 and 6000 competitors expected. In anticipation of there being a shortage of accommodation I took the precaution of booking 3 cottages for SYO members at the Dell of Abernethy near Nethy Bridge in the Spey valley. Although 30 miles from the event centre at Inverness the A9 is reached quickly and from there all the events are readily accessible. We stayed in the Dell in 1995 and found it to be a delightful place and ideal as a base for a holiday. It is on the edge of the RSPB Abernethy forest and close to the Loch Garten Ospreys. It is very quiet, within walking distance of a good and reasonable eating place (we even got Robin to come) and has wonderful views of the Cairngorms.
There is one cottage still available which suits 5/6 people. Price will depend on the number of people but will be between £70 and £90 per person for the week - Saturday to Saturday. Don't forget the first event is on the Saturday so you would have to find somewhere to stay on Friday night. If you are interested and want to know more contact Brian Shaw on 01433 631523.

Dear Sally
I believe Eleanor Pyrah has spoken to you about the possibility of some of your club members being prepared to give ESOC a hand to run Day 2 of Highland 99. It looks very much as though we will be quite significantly short of the 7O or so people needed to help on the day for two reasons - firstly, although we are a big club by Scottish standards large numbers of our members are casual orienteers and too busy with other, mainly family, things to come up to Inverness to help and, secondly, we have been 'paired' with two tiny clubs, EKCO and LINOC, who can provide only a few helpers each. We will be lucky to muster 4O-5O of the 7O or so people required.
It would be a great help to us if you could spread the word in SYO that we would be gratefu1 for some help on Day 2, Sunday 1st August. I have come to you partly on the recommendation of the H99 organisers but also because we have some contact with you through the Pyrahs and because you may well have a large number of club members participating in H99 anyway. The plan would be for SYO members to help early or late and have a start time to fit in with this. For many people, starting early and helping later is preferred (doesn't interfere with the concentration before running), but we would be looking for both early and late helpers to obtain a spread of support.
I would be most grateful if you could spread the word in the club. If you are agreeable, this is probably best done on an individual volunteer basis, so anyone volunteering should contact me directly (phone: O1968 674257, email: roger.scrutton@ed.ac.uk). Thank you very much for your help.
With kind regards,
Roger Scrutton
