Brunel University were the hosts yesterday for the final British Championship of 2023!
London Orienteering Klubb put on a fantastic and well-planned event once more with 150 teams tackling the grounds of the somewhat intricate university grounds.
In the Elite category South Yorkshire Orienteers (SYO) came out on top with a superb result ahead of Bristol Orienteering Klub (BOK) and multiple-time winners Forth Valley Orienteers (FVO). SYO also took 1st place in Junior (-16) category pipping the Dorset Junior team who came in second and the Junior (-12) category coming in ahead of West Anglian Orienteering Club (WAOC) in second and South Downs Orienteering Club (SO) in third.
Carrying on their great form, SYO also just edged out South London Orienteers (SLOW) to be champions in the Veteran category with SLOW’s teams being separated by only a minute in second and third!
Taking home the win in the SuperVets category were CLARO with SYO and BOK coming second and third.
In the UltraVets it was time for BOK to take first place after their successes in other categories beating Lakeland Orienteering Club (LOC) and another fine performance by SLOW.
It was fantastic to see so many international teams and our armed forces teams take part in the event with some intersteing team names across the results! The Ad-Hoc category was won by Bastholmen Elites making their trip over to the UK from Sweden worthwhile!
