I agreed to plan the Harris Park event as it's close to my house and I know the area quite well.  I started by planning some courses on OCAD (with lots of help from my Dad) knowing there had to be three courses.  Once I was happy with the courses I'd planned I had to check the area to see what some of the control sites were like and how I would describe them on the descriptions.  I went out for a run...

Then this idea was reinforced as we drove from the airport to the lodge: it was just constant forest. I had heard that we were staying at a club hut but when we got there I was shocked at what it really was. It was a massive old ski hut with a sauna, which the Fredrikstadt orienteering  club owns. But what was more surreal was the fact that an orienteering club owned it, when here in the UK none of the clubs have anywhere near the money to own a club hut!

At the Yvette Baker I very much enjoyed the course that I ran (Yellow). It was very cold and windy at the event, but it was still fun all the same.

Let’s hope we get through to the final!By Rosie Spencer
