Last Sunday saw many Airienteers travelling to an East Pennine Orienteering Club event at Newmillerdam, Wakefield.

Pouring rain, muddy slopes and swollen streams added to the challenges presented by this fine open woodland and scenic reservoir.

Revelling in the conditions competitors from our Leeds/Bradford club put in some pleasing performances. Six Airienteers also picked up medals for age class wins in the Yorkshire Orienteering Super League covering a range of events in our region held throughout 2013.

Yorkshire Super League results: M21S Lee Beavers (Leeds.) M35L Steve Watkins (Baildon). M55L Andrew Kelly (Menston). M16 Miles Gilleard (Bingley). W55 Shirley Wood (Ilkley). W20 Helen Wood (Leathley.)
