JROS Czechia Tour 2024
Luke Bennett has recently been on the Junior Regional Orienteering Squads tour of Czechia.
He summarised the trip as follows: "Overall, Czechia was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about orienteering aboard. Dan said our clubs were welcome back at any time for a training week, and would help us sort out training areas, so perhaps in the future we can go on a club tour to Czechia! I would like to thank all the coaches on the tour for making it an enjoyable experience whilst also learning lots about international orienteering. I would also like to thank DFOK and SEOA for their contributions that allowed me to go on this tour."
Here is the full report of the trip.
