The junior hill running group had a mass entry to the STAG winter score event in Lochwinnoch to practice their navigation. They had to visit as many checkpoints as possible in 60 mins. The dozen youngsters all did well in an event with mainly adults running. A good first orienteering event for many of them and many thanks to STAG and especially Terry O’Brien for hosting the event and welcoming the group.
