Five Go Orienteering

Photographer: Marc Owen

Once again, SOS juniors performed brilliantly, this time achieving equal 3rd place against tough competition in the 2025 Yvette Baker Shield competition.

Clubs from as far afield as Cornwall and the Midlands fought for the Shield in the stunning terrain of Capite Woods, Sussex. There was no room for a mis-punch, as all five of our runners needed to count, and they rose to the challenge admirably. The enthusiasm of SOS' younger members was a joy to behold and one successfully completed his first ever 'yellow'.
Congratulations to Theo, Alex, Lulu, Joshua and Finn, and thanks to Southdown Orienteers for running a spendid event.
