Tomorrow's event at Chobham Common will mean that I have gone a whole year (and 55 events) since I last used pin punching. The graph s...

The new release of Catching Features has finally arrived. If you've never tried it then I suggest downloading the demo immediately, and...

I've now managed to get all of the WOC relay results in to the Maprunner WOC Database . The individual runners from each team are still ...

I controlled the London Orienteering Klubb event on Hampstead Heath yesterday. Hampstead is only four miles from central London, but offer...

My website normally goes along averaging about 200 hits a day. So why did I suddenly get 10 times the traffic on Wednesday? Because Mike Egl...

After a period of silence it's time to try to catch up. There have been all sorts of things I have been meaning to write about, but just...

I've commented previously that it turned out to be very hard to find a good source of results for WOC. I'm looking at setting someth...
