Kate Robertson seemed to be first who couldn't resist my challenge and was doing
pretty well at Level 2 until Grampian Pete waded in a couple of days ago. Andrew
McMurtrie also seems to have caught the bug and Sasha was the only contender at
Level 1. I tried Level 3, 4 and 5 but there are some real wildcards here like a
picture of snowdrops!!? Eeeny-meeny-miny-mo........ In case the rest
of you still want to try here's

JD - World Champion!!!
(Posted 21/07)
Fantastic news from the Czech Republic where
Honorary Life Club Member Jon Duncan became an orienteering world champion last
Sunday!! More....
Hi all,
If you want some more vicarious travelling....
Since the last update in Panama we have covered something like 4000 sea miles and have visited the Galapagos and Marquesas islands so there are lots of pictures of wildlife and rocks not to mention all the wet bits.
Hope you enjoy it and keep the comments coming.
If you've read this far down the page then you obviously think there should be more on it. Funnily enough I agree, but I've run out of inspiration at the moment. What would you like to see? What have you stumbled across recently while wilfing* on the net that you think the rest of us might be interested in? Doesn't have to be pure O related - there is life beyond O contrary to popular belief. Drop me an email and let me know.
*wilfing - the act of getting sidetracked on the net before suddenly thinking "what was I looking for?"
