After a long break through the summer months the MTBO season in the UK finishes with a flurry of events.
Firstly there is a MTBO on Tankersley, used earlier this year for the British foot orienteering relay championships, this Saturday, organised by World Masters Bronze medallist Killian Lomas. On Sunday nearby there is the second round of the ever popular Dark and white winter series of 3 hour score events.

Two weeks later sees a drive north to the wild forests of Gisburn for what promises to be a fantastic couple of hours of technical and hilly riding, organised by Alan Hartley and Pendle Forest Orienteers.
