The classic woodland orienteering interservices took place at Egypt Woods a few weeks back, hosted by HH. The courses were fantastic with plenty of chances to make up time and even more mistakes to be made. Congrats to the Army for winning :) ©Crown Copyright 2026

Last weekend @RAFHonington was the venue of the British Sprint Relay Orienteering Champs. RAF Orienteers assisted with the running of the race and also had a team competing!

Not only visited Austria in July. But also Shetland Islands, as far North as you can get in the UK! Shetland certianly poses a unique enviorment for orienteering, with very few trees, and rocky terrain. That was followed by another week in the Dee Valley. youtube.com/@raforienteering

RAF Orienteers had a busy summer, espically on the Austrian O Days in July where a contigent of personnel visited Austria and raced across 8 days. 4 days urban in a uni campus & city centre of Graz including a tunnel under a hill and the other half being classic forest races.

Thanks to BOF & all the clubs that helped organise the JK 2025. Brilliant 4 days of orienteering from Sheffield City Centre to the dreaded boulder fields of Wharncliffe!

En route to the #Barbican for another #LondonCityRace in @RoyalAirForce colours! 12 km of rapid route choice / fast running around the intricate streets of the Square Mile the multi-level map chaos of the Barbican Centre. Good luck @OrienteeringLOG and @RAFOrienteering runners!

Final day of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024 was situated in the same area as the previous day, however courses were shorter and had less climb. After the event we headed over to Budapest for their National Day's Fireworks display! 🎆 @ukinhungary @UKdefence_HUN @HQRAFSport

Day 4 of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024 was even more hilly than the previous days with over 500m climb for some. Followed by a BeerO event where we were just one place away from the finals. @UKdefence_HUN @RoyalAirForce @GBRorienteering @HQRAFSport

The third day of the Hungarian Orienteering Cup 2024! The area was a little less hilly and mostly in woodland today. Evening activity was a "Mobile-O" where using a telephone, one orienteer gives directions to another who doesn't have the map! @HQRAFSport @RoyalAirForce

Race 2 of the Hungaria Cupa today. A very enjoyable middle distance race but stupidly I let my focus bubble get breached and was distracted into making an error. Checked my CD, did the drill, but the mismatch did not register. Whoops! #orienteering #hungariacup @ukdef_hun
