This years White Rose Event took place in Pickering Forest in the North York Moors National Park. Pickering Forest was the venue for one of my first orienteering events - Nev Myers tells me it was in 1973! I remember running M15 and crawling through fight whilst trying to follow a compass bearing! Fortunately I wasn't put-off and this weekend was a much more positive experience!
The weather was great, the area (- much to my surprise and relief!) free of bracken and brambles, and the courses challenging - with route choice and areas of good contour detail!
The socialising was a highlight too, with a British Squad reunion and an opportunity to meet up with old friends not often seen at current events!
