Tremendous effort from JOK volunteer helpers travelling from Moravian to Kerno. Thanks to all this effort, the orienteering was delivered at about 10% the cost of the television coverage...

As British Orienteering Development Officer Peter Brooke, said: “We wouldn’t have the sport we do today without the hard work and dedication of the many volunteers across the country. Throughout 2019 we want to celebrate volunteering and support clubs to run their own projects to encourage more of their members to volunteer."

and then, just a tad disappointingly, when we asked BO for some support...


Having carefully considered the application it was felt that this didn’t meet the objectives of the Year of the Volunteer funding

Planning. JOK chasing sprint on the Adventure Show

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0006bj6/the...

After a contact from Paul McGreal in February, I committed to make it happen then roped in JonX to do all the work. Gradually it morphed into the JOK chasing sprint and I got the prime role of planning. Lots of test runners helped out after all the recent health issues. In the end the girls were a tad underplanned at 17-18 mins, boys on the money with 20. Quite knackered at the end of a log and successful day.

Bad day today. Left thigh still too sore to sit on. Did a couple of hours from the couch at home, Then went in but couldn't think so had to leave at 4, took a nap, then reviewed some papers in the evening. Lots of JOK stuff flying about too.
Taking stock, left leg still numb and tingling, muscles in both legs twitching at rest, lower back sore in an ischemic rather than sciatic way. Haven't pressed the breathlessness but not especially feeling lung powered.

More manageable effort for day 2. J&J back, so arrived too late to set up, everything was running smoothly, so went for a walk around the area.
