This year the Welsh Orienteering Championships were held in conjunction with the British on the cool limestone terrain of Carreg Goch above Dan yr Ogof. Swansea Bay and their army of volunteers put on a challenging race which found worthy champions.
The 2026 open champions are Tom Wood ERYRI and Fay Stemp-Walsh AIRE - congratulations to them, to Clare Dallimore and Jill Manning who were also crowned British Champion in their class and to all the other Welsh champions. You can see the full list of Welsh champions in the Hall of Fame
The following day, South Wales hosted the British Relay Championships in the mud of Margam Park. Swansea Bay’s Cymru Crew took the M18 British title - llongyfarchiadau and Megan Symons had the best St David’s Day podiumwear.
Thanks to all the SBOC and SWOC volunteers for a great weekend of orienteering.
