Craig Lucas, Lincoln Orienteering’s Chair said “It’s a privilege for us as a club to host this high profile event and be part of the CRET. We’re anticipating over 300 participants visit Lincoln on Sunday – and the associated race in Nottingham on Saturday – and have planned a range of courses to test the quick decision making and navigational skills of all age groups. We stage a range of events all year round in Lincolnshire so anyone who wants to try the map sport they should look for our friendly club’s website at www.logonline.org.uk”
