Blustery winds blow away the cobwebs at Cleveland Orienteering Klub's Middle Distance Event.

Feedback from one happy club member was....
"This was an epic event! Extensive gorse, steep slopes, waist-high heather, crags, boulders, bramble.... and believe it or not, thanks to good planning, the courses were excellent though on the tough side of normal. Lots of intricate legs in the contour detail and great views of the seascape."
