Welcome to JK2016

Day 1 complete

An excellent day racing in the sunshine at Leeds. Results are now up on the SI website. See you at Wass tomorrow! 

Final details - amendments

There are two updates so far:

• Control description sheet dimensions for Day 1 added.
• Day 2 - map sizes for courses 5 - 10 have been corrected to A4, not A3.

Only a few more days

The snow has almost gone and the sun was out at Kilnsey at the weekend.

Yorkshire and Humberside orienteers look forward to welcoming you to the JK in Yorkshire over the Easter weekend.  Let us hope that the sun shines like it did yesterday. The weather forecast is a bit mixed, but not too bad at the moment.

One plea from the organisers: PLEASE car share as much as you can.  Our original car parking plans, especially at Kilnsey and Wass, were ruined by the rain in December and January and the fields are still unusable.  This has put pressure on our reserve areas, so as much car sharing as possible will be a great help to everyone.

See you in Yorkshire!
