Fantastic Irish Orienteering Championships in Sligo & Donegal!

by

 

Hosted by Sligo Orienteering Club & Fingal Orienteers, even the weather was on our side.  A fabulous turnout from NI Orienteers; the pre-event info mentioned ice but we had wall-to-wall sunshine.

Stunning terrain, spectacular views, challenging courses, and a friendly, social atmosphere.  Everything we needed for the premier Irish O event of 2018.

As we were told at the prizegiving, sure we’re all winners.  But more specifically, here they are!
