Luke's Lagganlia Tour Report
I was extremely lucky to have been selected for the Lagganlia 2022 tour which includes 6 days of Orienteering training. Being in the Scottish highlands, all 6 days were in physically demanding and technically challenging areas (Very different to the terrain in the South East!).
May Activity Evening
Twelve orienteers turned up to this month's activity evening at Joydens Wood. The session this time was to be a MapRun Course with three to choose from: a Short Line course of 2.7km, a Long Line course of 4.5km and a Score course with 26 controls to try and get in an hour. MapRun is a form of orienteering where Smartphones are used for punching and timing, avoiding the need to put out flags and SI units, saving time and effort for organisers or in this case coaches!

Members Shine in the dark
The 26 event Kent Night Cup series reached a conclusion for 2021/22 in late March. Joel Hallberg finished in top place in the men's league and Rachel Collins was top of the women's league giving DFOK the highest ranked competitors for several years. Also of note was that DFOK members occupied 5 of the top 10 places with a tussle between Neil Speers and Andrew Pitcher for 5th place going to the last two events. Congratulations to the 22 club members who participated in at least one event in the series and thanks to the club members and David Float who volunteered to organise and plan one or two events in the series.
