The club will be holding a pre-Christmas meal on 11th December in The Horseshoe Inn in the village of Llangattock near Crickhowell. Everyone is welcome!
The meal will be immediately preceded by a MapRun event around the local area, which will be a great opportunity to work up an appetite.
Along with the village of Llangattock, the local area also features the River Usk, the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, the small picturesque town of Crickhowell, and quiet country lanes and footpaths. So plenty of variety and interest.
If you plan to attend the meal, please book your place when you enter the MapRun event via Fabian4 so that we know how many to expect.
Full details can be found on the event page here.

Western Night League 2024/25
Orienteering in the dark!
Fancy adding an extra layer of challenge to your orienteering?
The Western Night League is a series of night orienteering events put on by our neighbouring clubs in South Wales and western England. The events are held on Saturday evenings after dark throughout the winter, and the format is typically a 1 hour score event.
On top of your standard orienteering gear, all you’ll need is a good, bright headtorch (plus a backup just in case), a whistle in case of emergencies, and a good sense of direction in the dark!
Head over to the Western Night League website for further details.
They also have a facebook page.
