CROESO 2024
A total of 24 Devon members attended the Croeso 6 day event which took place mainly in the Brecon Beacons this year. Thanks to Karen for her report below.
The Croeso 6 day event took place mainly in the Brecon Beacons this year, with the exception of Day 1, which was in the dunes at Merthyr Mawr on the coast. Each day provided physically challenging and technical terrain, and on Day 4, the weather threw a 'Dartmoor pea-souper' at us just to test our navigational ability a little more!
Notable results were produced by the Gilbert family with Leo, Poppy and Martha all taking 1st places in their respective classes, Lucy Walker placing 2nd in the W21L class, and Tom Lillicrap placing 2nd in the M75L class.
We also had four 4th places with Sam Lewis (M20L), Ruth Gilbert (W40S), Ben Chesters (M45L) and David Harper (M70L).
The rest of us just had a jolly good time.....and we won't dwell on where we placed!
Well done to all those who attended and having had an excellent week of challenging orienteering, we are looking forward to the series of August MapRuns and the forthcoming winter league events.
