At last, there is hope that we can return to the forests, moors and urban areas!
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of the relaxation of restrictions on Monday 22nd February we held a DVO Fixtures Committee to consider the pattern of events we would look to put on over the rest of the year. We are obviously waiting for further guidance from the Government and British Orienteering as whatever events and activities we put on will necessarily operate within these guidelines.
Continue reading Finding Our Way back to Orienteering
For anyone interested in coaching, British Orienteering have several live e-learning presentations from the 9–19th January.
Some sessions cover safety in remote terrain and how coaching might be delivered in a Covid-safe manner, and even virtually. Sessions are free, and can be booked here.
We hope you’re all managing to keep fit and motivated over the winter. DVO respects British Orienteering’s suspension of all orienteering activities in Tier 4 areas, and their recommendation not to travel to other areas to train. As a result, we have postponed our events and same-day MapRuns, at least until Derbyshire moves into a lower tier.
In the meantime, we are offering MapRuns and Permanent Orienteering Courses for individual/household completion, or distanced with one other person. These should be undertaken using quieter areas close to where you live, and must follow Government guidelines on exercise.
We look forward to seeing you in the forest later in 2021!
Sal Chaffey, DVO Chair
