The following message was from British Orienteering (17th March 2020):

It is with great sadness that we are now in a position where all orienteering activities in the UK have to be suspended with immediate effect.
We are aware that the Coranvirus outbreak is a very fluid and rapidly changing situation. We all, therefore, continue to follow advice from the Public Health England, the World Health Organisation and both local and national governments on this matter and will keep the orienteering community updated as appropriate.
We know how great the sport is at supporting each other and we ask that you continue to pull together (albeit virtually) during this difficult time. We will do our best to get you back in the forests as soon as it is safe to do so.
Finally, we ask that you continue to follow the government's guidance on how to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Please stay safe and support each other during this hard time.
Best wishes, Peter Hart (Chief Executive, British Orienteering)

Unfortunately, as a consequence of C19, this year's Peter Palmer Junior Team Relays (which were due to be hosted by WCOC at Hawse End near Keswick this September) have been cancelled.

The Ennerdale (Bowness Knott and Gillerthwaite) permanent courses have been closed, because of earlier than expected forestry work. Checkpoints vulnerable to the thinning work have been removed. The courses at Bleach Green remain open. We hope to reopen the Ennerdale ones in spring next year, possibly in a different form.  Please give us your thoughts on what you'd like to see in the valley. See Wild Ennerdale for contact information.
