YORLDORIEBTEERIaG CHAMPIONSHIPS 1987

The twelfth ,",orld Orienteering Championships took place in theVosges Mountains of North-eastern France from September 1-6 1987 .Following a selection race in Scotland the Irish team which travelledto the event was Denis Murphy <ECO), Aonghus 0' Cleirigh <CO.', Co] mO'Halloran <Lee D), "'ally Young (CO>; Eileen Loughman WEN>, J'u l t eMartindale (3ROC), Anne :May <3ROC), Deirdre n1 Challanain <AJAX) andreserve Una Creagh <3ROC). In addition Ireland had the honour 01

providing one of the members of the race jury in Colin Dunlop <SETI.

Tbe competitions were dominated by the Swedes, the Norwegians andthe Swiss, witb Swedes Kent Olsson and Arja Hannu& winning Lhei ndi vidual races; and Norway winni ng both relays. Thi 5 year there worequalifying races, lil!e heat., to determine who got into the tinal.Four races were beld, two for the men and two for the women, wi thabout fiity in each race. The top twenty five runners got into thefinal, with one runner from each country guaranteed a run 1n each ofthe finals even if they didn't qualify. AlthoLlgh none of the Irishteam managed to qualify in their own r1ght we came closer this yearthan ever before to doing so: we had men plaoed 27th. 41st, 42nd and40th in the heats and women placed 28th. 29th, 29t.h and 35t.b: anenormous improvement by our women's team.

The terrain used for t.he individual and qualification races wasin the Swiss mould, judging by the maps: some roads and tracks .conSiderable hetght differences, mostly runnable forest and areasonable amount of contour and rock detail. The qualification racearea was literally just across the road from the individual forest and60 gave a good indication of the expected terrain.

Although the qualification race was t.he day be r or-a the Individualthere was no chance to take it easy and save effort for the morrow:the immediate objective was to qualify for the final. Several of theIrish came tantalizingly close to doing this but. in the end it was notto be. The two selected to run in the finale were the hIghest placed:Aonghua 0' Cleirigh and Eileel1 Loughman .

In the final Aong~us bad a near pwriect run, according to'sources' and finished joint 28th, almost certainly the highest placedIrish runner in any ,",orld Championship, ah"ad 01 all ehe British teamexce p t Bll bo Bagness and three rmnu"tes ahead of Kasppar Oett t i who ""ason th0 third pillced Swiss relay team. Eileen finisher.! an excellent41st" ahead of Iva KeLf ba uova (of the third placed Czech relay team',and old rivals such be Sharon Crawford (USA).

The relay races were disappointing lor the Irish, however. In themen's race first leg runner Aonghus O'Cleirlgh didn't punch h t s cClrdat a radlo/drinks control and was disqualified, as was the team: "'allyYoung, the second leg runner, got out into the forest before the n~wsbroke, but the remaining two, Calm O'Halloran and Denis Murphy werenot allowed to start. In the Women's race Eileen Loughman lost time onthe course through navigational problems, Deirdre ni Challanainfollowed with a disappointing run, third leg runner Anne Kay sprainedher ankle but cont.inued on the course, and julie Martindale had thebest run of the four but was unable t.o pull back any places: wefinished one place behind USA but almost fifty minutes down. In factthe winning team had finisned before the last leg runners for Denmark,Austr'alia, Austria, New Zealand, Italy, USA or Ireland had started.The Japanese team was disqualified.

unc .. tj-"" learn sot to France their morale was good and they allQoubti",r,& bene r r t.t ed from the experience. ('he support which tbe teamrec.E-lved r rom Irish orienteers, tbough. left a great deal to bedeSll.a. They got little or no financial help (except from 3ROC. GENetn.:; '::I\'i') , encouragement or moral support; there was doubt about theconum eme nv CJI the tea,ru manager, Te d Russell, all through the run-up to~he evenL; and the financial and organisational oonfusion prior to theceam'~ departure was such that it would make one wonder if Ireland hade- ve r s.ml a team to an event abroad before: we have been sending teams<.0 1<10... sInce ly'/6 and every year the problems seem to get worse.

"* An orienteering tour to Sweden in late spring 1988 is beingplanned."* Participation is open to Regular, F.e.A. and Reserve Personel.'* The duration of the trip is expected to be between ten (10) and'fourteen (14) days."* The emphasis of the tour will be on technical training andcompetition. Offers of assistance with coaching, accomodation andtransport in Sweden have been made by the Swedish orienteeringauthorities."* The tour is unofficial and will necesitatc annual leave being taken.

Orienteering in Scandinavia is more techuically demanding than athome because the geology of the {CHain is younger and therefore morerugged and the forests are uncultivated. Previous orienteeringexperience is therefore a requisite.It is anticipated that most of the costs will be raised by those travellingthrough sponsorship, etc.By applying to join the tour you commit yourself to participating invarious fund-raising activities this autumn and winter to finance thetrip.All applications should be sent before October 14th 1987 to:-

FRANCO-IRISH EXCHANGE

IDA has details of a CospoirScheme to exchange coaches or otherworthy sportspeople between France andIreland in 1988. The scheme, called theFranco-Irish Sports EXChange scheme,bas in previous years been of use toother adventure sports but orienteeringhas yet to benefit. If we can sendsomeone to France for up to one week,Or if we can benefit by a week's visitfrom a French expert then we can apply.As usual with COspoir the areas ofhandicapped and womenin sport will beviewed particularly favourably. Apassing knowledge of French is expectedof participants,

If you have any ideas, contactthe IDA Secretary, Maybe the WorldChampionships will have given rise tosome spin-off which would help us: buthurry! The closing date is October14th.

CONTROL ~PTIONS: A ~

In case YOU think this article will be II critical look at the lOF PictorialControl Descriptions. think again. It is in fact II user's review of the latest pieceof high Ovt echnology to reach our shores .. 8 computer program to produce lOFcontrol descriptions. The brainchild of Finn Arildsen from Denmark. it is nowavailable to any club affilialed to lhe lOA. The program allows YOU lo enter a listof control sites with descriptions. select from these controls to make courses andthen prinl descriptions for these courses. Other sections allow you to modify asymbol (or create a new one) and set up a relay course using the FARSTA method.

First II word on hardware. According to the user's guide the program runs onan IBM PC (or compatible) and either II Fujitsu DPL 24 or Epson MX·80 orMicroline 92 or 192 printer. T ran it on an Amstrad PC 1512 and IBM GraphicsPrinter with no problems. The only restriction on the computer is that it is IBMcompatible with 128k memory.

Now that the awkward technicalit.ics are O'1t or the way. lets get down tohusiness. All program activities are carried out usinll menus and function keys. sothat no special knowledge of typing or computers is required to use the program.You select a topic Crom the menu by moving II highlighted bar over it with thecursor keys and then pressing the approprlate function koy. Different menus can beselected with the function keys also.

On starting. you may select an event alroady stored or start on a new one.In either case you set UP courses by editing 8 control file. If you are working ona new event. the control file is empty (this is the only difference between thetwo). When entoring a new control. you fill in 8 7·fiold template. corresponding tothe last 7 columns in the IOF formol fie no control number). All fields may be leftblank except. for the first (control code) as this is used by the program to identifythe control site. These control descriPtions can be modified. so you don't have tofix the site from the start.

Once YOU have controls entered. you cnn pick from these to make a course.Again either a new course can be set up or en old one edited. You just type inthe control code after tbe control number. Tho mothod is also used for setting uprelay courses .. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know how it works. Printing aset of control descriptions is simple: you select the course. tha program checks itfor consistency (very useful) and (if everything Is OK) prints the descriptions outon an ordinary dot-matrix printer. The printer must bo graphics.capable.

Not having tried the program on a real event [I lested on a previous event I'dplanned). 1 can't say definitely how much time it would save. It would make lifemuch easier for a planner. beceuse with the program to keep track of control sitesand descriptions he can concentrate on gelting good courses. Also he doesn't haveto know the lOF descriptions and he doesn't have to draw them either. To obtainthis program. an YOU have to do is send me a blank diso (either 3.5 inch or 5.25inch). an SAE if you want it posted back to :you and £1.60 to COpy the user'sguide (64 pages of itl.The address is:

THREE ROCK ORIENTEERING CLUBEnquiries to: John Downey, 117 Wesbury, StillQrgan,

Co. Dublin.

The SUDUllerand the World Championships arc over and we are once more launchedinto n new orienteering season. The Scottisb 6-Day is now but a pleasant memolY forthe large contingent of members who travelled to Beauly. It proved to be an excellentevent with superb orienteering, mostly dry weather and midges in small numbers. MixedfortunCII seemed the order of the day in the A classes, except for Una Creagh who finishedin 5th place in W 17A and Anne May (noe Shiel) who finished 5th in W 35A. Well doneUna and Anne and also Maire Convery who finished 1st in W 19B. The "day off" in themiddle of the week saw people scattering throughout tbe Highlands and Islands and tberewere reports of caber-tossing on Skye, fish 'n chips in Ullapool and haggis-huntingin the Highlands.

3ROC bad a strong interest in the 1987 World Championships. Julie Martindale,Anne ~Iay and Una Creagh were all chosen to represent Ireland, Una ae the travellingreserve. At the lMt moment Ronan Cleary was selected as Team Manager and SuzanneClark and David Hay helped out during tbe Event. CONGRATULA.TIONS to all of you, 3ROCare very p-roud of you all. Despite some disapI)ointmente related to the actualorie"teel'ing, our fOl'oigIJcorrespundeot reports that everyone had (I gre(lttime, goodtood and first-cla.!18Clccomrnodationand they all lookod very sartorial in their IrishTeam '0' Buits. So all you aspiring Irish Team members start training NOW for 1989.

The Burren Walk and '0' Event was (I good opener for the new season and W8e,(IS usual, very enjoya~le. We travelled to Rossmoro (Monaghan) for our joust withLagan Valley in the Irish Orienteer Trophy. Sotcmh hu.dorganised a bus to the samevenue 1'01' theil'match witb Nortb West and we shured it wi.th them. Thts proved u gl'eutsucceS8 und thanke ar~ due to Bobby Buckley who organised the bue and Trina Cleury whorounded lipthe 3ROC troops. Many thanks also to John deLacy and hiB merry ECO menwbo put on the event. The competition had 8 nail-biting finish, the outcome dependingon Angus Tyner' 8 run. He did not let U8 down and his time meant that we had drawn thematch, 1,2points all. We were awarded the match as we had 1st places in three of thefour courses - .8 very close run compotition. Thank you to the 28 stalwarts whotravelled by bus a.ndcal'to Rossmore und got us through the 1at round. We know we hadstiff opposltion that d(lyfrom tbe All-Ireland Final in Croke Park and the WorldAthletic Championsbips in Rome, but please come and support the Club in the next round.

Our Grade 1 in Glendalough on 20th September \tasvery successful. Ian McNeilland John Downey organised, Michael McAuliffe planned with Brian Bollinshead as hieassistnnt and Justin }faycontrolled. The usual thanks (1 can assure you very heartful )to a.lI who helped before and on the day. Nationul '0' Day is on SUNDAY, Hb Ootober.We ure rwuling our usual event in the PHOENIX PARK and we will need lots of helpers 00the day. Remember the people taking part are new to orienteering and we need peopleto explain and generally help to get the message across.

Three Rock 1;raini ng moves to wi nter quarters from the begi nni ng01: Oct.ober. This winter we change to TueBday evenings at 8 pm atBallinteeT Community School, beside the Dundrum Family RecreationCentn". Changing and shower facilities are available. This:facility has been provided through the good offices of Setantaac. Summer training at Marlay Park will resume after Easter.

Social Event of the summer was John and Nora's Wedding in August. A greatday was had by all, including the bride and groom; the sun ahone, the tide was in andthe band was fab. By the way, John managed to get to the Scottish 6-Day to, to quotehis own words, "have a last fling". We wish them every happiness for the :future.

IRISH RANKING LIST,again, probably before

be issued at regularThe IRISH RANKING LIST will be published

the end 0 f the year. It is then expected tointervals. possibly every two months.

The reason it disappeared is that SILVA withdrew theirsponsorship. and FIOA did not have funds or an alternative sponsor. Ifthere Is any potential sponsor out there. please read on. We will needmoney for duplication and distribution of the list, but thanks to UCCOwhose members have offered their services. there will be no programmingor processing costs.

Becaus~ of the distance Involved. Faith White was unable to liaisewith UCCO members. and asked me to fill In for her. I have had twomeetings with the UCCO team of programmers. which Includes theirser.retary. G~r~lolne Grey and their new M.O.A. rep. CarolineO'ShaughneSSY. The system Is fully understood. but we need to settlesome minor points, such as the relationship of M/W21A to M/w21E, and ofM/w21B to M/W21A. I have been in touch with Brian Watkins, who producedlast years results. and he has promised full co-operation. He hasalready supplied a full print-out of all the scores In last year'slist. There are 809 names on it, but most of these had not completedthree ranking events. And I noticed one person who was listed threetimes, because (s)he used three different versions of his/her name.

Some changes in the system are proposed. to be more in acc~rd withOrienteering In Ireland. to simplify administration, and to give moreconSistent results. These are as follows:-

1) To reduce the number of RANKING events to eight.2) To change the "year" from 365 days to event-based.

By redUCing the number of events to 8, (Irish Champs., four ProvincialChamps., day 1 and day 2 of Irish 2-day.· and Inter Varsities). therew!11 b~ no r~ed to ~ecid. on two extra ~vent~ t~ hp inc)'loPO (we hAd tnhave 10 because of the way the program was written). or to publiclsethese two events as b~lng ranking events.By working on an event-based year, we ensure that there Is always one,(and only one) of each of the named eight events Included. In a 365-dayyear. due to bringing forward or putting back events. it Is possible tohave (say) two Irish Championships included for ranking, or none atall. The event-based system will make ranking more consistent.

If anyone wishesIs the time to doTIO no. 22 (MARCHaga In. the ru Ies

These are the only changes expected.forward suggestions for ~ther changes, nowother existing rules remain the same. See1986). When the system is up and runningpublished in full.

The RANKING LIST Is invaluable for seeding and for checking theconsistency of competitors. we hope to print special lists for3elcctc~s ond coache~. 3nd to h8\'e ~9sults on reQ~~st for th~m afterevery RANKING·event. Because three full years points will have beenused to arrive at current rankings. these will be the best availablemeasure of performance.

hope to have more information soon. Let me have any ideas forchanges (and the reasons for them) as soon as possible, tn writing.please, to my home address ("Knocknarea", Barnstead Avenue, Blackrock.Cork). And all offers of sponsorship will be welcome.

EASTlNGS

A.D.M.

The Loinster Council bi-annual delegate meeting will be held on the 15th Oct~t the B.C.S. ballinteer (date and venue are provisional at this time).

Mapping

The I.O.A. are reviewing their policy on mapping grants. It is proposed todiscontinue the present system of funding air plots and instead take eachmapping project on it's merits.A sum of £1000 has been set aside for thispurpose. Please note that all applications for grants should be sent to theLeinster mapping officer - Brian Power.

Junior Affairs

Junior training will be held on Sat 3rd Oct at Masseys 11-12.30 and on Sat10th at Kilmashogue same time.All juniors are welcome to come along for a run.It has been noticed that some juniors have been running up age classes, it isvery important that you inform Lindie Naughton before doing this as it willeffect your chances of selection on Regional I National squads.

A development plan for junior orienteering will be put to Leinster clubs atthe A.D.M.The f~llowing is proposed I Appointment of junior officers by clubs to their

committees.A course to be held on junior coaching for theabove.The establishment of a Lein.ter junior squadRegular inter pro matches.Prizes in all junior classes at GRI eve~ts.

Leinster League

To date two events have been held ie Croghan Kinsella and Glendalough.Ourthanks to the organisers for the speedy manner in which they got the resultsto us.Just a reminder that you must compete in at least four of the sixevents. Presentation of prizes will take place immediately following the lastevent at Ballinstoe (with GEN's approval).

Endymion Award

Endymion was probably our first orienteer. 1 am told that he was a Greek godwho spent his time wandering aimlessly about.He was also a Dublin streetcharacter who navigated his way around Dublin using a compass.Anyway the award goes to E.C.O. who got the season off to a very enjoyablestart at Rossmore.

Eastings Finale

If you travel East for long enough you will arrive back at your point ofdeparture (apologies to the flat earth society). Lest this fate shouldbefall me I think the time has come for me to go ashore.Two years ago the I.O.A. asked me to investigate the possibility of re-establishing the L.O.A.That 1 can now report the success of this venture isentirely due to my collegues on the executive.Arthur,Brian and Lindie nailedtheir colours to the mast with me from the beginning. My sincere thanks tothem.! would also like to acknowledge the contribution made by Brendan andTri na.That we have an association is only a beginning, what happens from this onis up to the clubs.One thing that has become very obvious to me over thelast two years is that Leinster cannot be expected to fill all the executiveposts on the I.O.A •.The time has come to withdraw some of our troops. Thereis work to be done at regional level and we need all the dedicated people 18we can Clet.

IDA COMPETITOR REGISTRATION SCHEME

In January 1987 the Irish Orienteering Association introduced ofa comprehensive competitor registration record by which all members oforien'i;.E'et"ingclubs aiill.1,ated to the IDA aro to be iS5ued withmembership numbers and cards each year.

A HIGHLANDFLING The Scottish 6-Day, August 1987~hDt's in it for tbe club?

Allot-her recommendation of the Technioal Sub-cOlllJlJittee was that atwo-t.ier entry fee be reintroduced for events. This can only beem or ced fairly if bona-fide lOA club members are provided with proof01 their status. It is recommended that club members pay about 2/3rdsd$ J1IlIch as non-members to take part 1n orienteering events. This",hOLllcl give more incentive to people to j Din orienteering clubs (toget che~per event entries) and also gives a tangible benefit to thosealready in clubs. Thus the clubs benefit thrOllgh a combination ofjncredsed membership and inoreased income at events from non-members.

REMEJ(]3BR COXP.ASS SPORT

Orienteering in the Hrghl.ands of Scotland for six days in August sounded agood prospect last January. Despite stories of rain, nud, cold, voracious midges,ladders up cliff faces, marathons to starts told by previous partiCipants, my enthusiasmdid not wane. So on 31st July our intrepid party sec off from IA.Jbl1non our longjourney to Beauly, about 14 miles west of Inverness. An uneventful trip, punctuated bycheap petrol near Girvan, breakfast in Ayr, lLmch in Pitlochry, saw us safely in Beaulyby earty evening. The SLmwas shining, Beauly Gala Weekin full swing and the EventGentre full of people clutching plastic bags,

Day 1 brought us to Creag Ulladail, an area 10 miles northwest of Beauly.The area was a mixture of sent-open rrocrl.ard and forest. My course, 5,1 k 75m, hadthe first controls in the open, which had been enlarged somewhatby a forest fire inApril. Careful navigation to the first control instilled confidence. '[here wereno linear features, large marshy areas aoo interesting contour detail on the high ground.'!he wood was disappointing, very rough underfoot, but there \0/85 plenty of detail.Good planning aoo a variety of route choices made for an interesting course, but mylack of fitness was a real drag. There was no rain, no midges and right where our carwas parked an abundance of raspberries.

Novar, 10 miles northeast of Beauly was the venue for Day 2. On a hill topoverlooking the car park (8 huge saoo quarry) was a strange edifice, Mlich appeared tobe a ser.ies of arches joined together. Whenasked, a car park official answeredfirmly that it had been built by the unenpl.oyed ' Later on someone else told us thatit had ancient origins - cor-of-cork Druids, perhaps! A showery day with plenty ofmidges saw me of on my 4.6k 18Qncourse. '!his area was also a mixture of forest ardopen, although my course was entirely in the forest. A change of mioo going to No. 3found me floundering in head-high bracken having fallen headlong into a depression.My unfit state saw me staggeing up all the uphill sections and recovering on thedownhill, Careless map reading had me vi s1 ting a variety of controls round my No. 8rut I eventually finished. Once again excellent planning provided B good course,one's mistakes were one's owndoing.

In addition to the planning and administrativEi benefits listedabove, the lOA anticipates that the scheme should encourage clubs topay their affiliation fee~ earlier in the year: the validity ofmembGll"sbip cards will only extend to January 31st of the yearlollowing their issue, so that after this date a club's members willnot b.. entitled t.o concessions on entry fees unless their club haspaid ~he afriliatlon tee for the next year.

Calo.dorCastle, of MacBethfame, formed the backdrop of Day 3. The assemblyarea and finish were in the grounds of the Castle. Shakespearean quotations atintervals on the way to the Start set the mood for the day. The ~od was a delight.Runnable forest and good planning made this a very enjoyable day's orienteering,Finish tin~s were very fast and despite some silly and careless mistakes I r.eally enjoyedour day in Ca\idor. A tour of the Castle, a visit to Nairn and Fort George finishedoff the first three days,

Our "rest-day" saw us doing a whistle-stop tour of the Highlards , Ullapool,An Teallach, Gairloch, Torridon gave an impression of the beauty and majesty of theHighlands. Photographs had to be taken quickly as the ubiquitous Midges \oJereout inforce and a superb meal back in Beaul.y set u~ up for the next three days orienteering.

Inshriach, at the foot of the Cairngorms brought us south to Aviemcre forDay 4. This whole region is a rroraine ard premised intricate contour detail. Thesouthern erd of the map in fact was a maze of contour features, but alas my coursedid not exterd that far, (5,8 k, 130 m climb). For me, this was the least satisfyingday. The planner was confined to certain areas by the r.unnability of the wood, whichwas very rough. Road and rides offered the eaSiest, if longest, ways avound thecourse with the odd "elephant track" helping us late starters in places, A smallarea of intricate rroraine detail in runnable forest revived flagging spirits, even ifI did miss the control ard had to relocate. \4ithout knowing how I then arrived atmy next control (No. 10) - I hadn't a clue where I was! Maybemy luck was changing.

Day 5 saw us in Achilty North, quite near our Day 1 venue. nus was asemt-open rroorland area, again with plenty of marshes and good contours on the highground, and only a small pocket of ~land. I loved it; each control hit bangon and a reasonable tin-e gave n-ean 11th place that day. The mapwas excellentwith practically no linear features. Howeverby using contour detail only it waspossible to navigate easily from control to control. Whenleaving a hill-topcontrol at one point I glanced around and there on every other hill-top were peoplelooking somewhat bewildered. A visit to Rogie Falls which were nearby to watchthe salnon leaping finished off Day 5 in fine style.

Back to the san-e area again, for Day 6, Achilty South this time. Backto the forest again with a small am:>untof sent-open. The beautiful views from thestart area ccopensaced for the cruel uphill drag to get there. Again, good planningand plenty of route choices gave yet another excellent days's orienteering. Theabsence of linear features caused manyproblems but once again by relying on contourdetail I had a trouble-free run.

Overall this was a fantastic six days of orienteering. Organisation wasfrieooly, helpful and unobtrusive. Q.llck results at each event aM result sheetsavailable each evening, together with the Beauly Bugle, (a newssheet) gave themathematicia.ns asrongst us plenty of calculations to \o.Qrkout. 1he actual orienteeringwas of the highest quality and mistakes could not be blamed on the map, only on thereader of same. Assembly/Finish areas provided ample space for Club tents and allthe other services associated with major orienteering events. Our club tent was Io,Qrthits weight in gold. It provided shelter and a meeting point and the usual lostproperty, someof it quite interesting! Weather was mostly dry - in fact over thesix days 1 wasn't once out in the rain - and the midges were bearable, in fact somedays were midge-free. Beauly was a lovely village and the locals friendly and interestedin the \o.noleevent.

I~e had ~erful accCll11rodationin ~r of Ord , 2 miles from Beauly, thanksto the McCruer family whovacated their house for the week to make room for us. Theonly thing we had to do was to feed '!lny, Marie ard f'brag (the hens), a job whichSuzanne undertook diligently. It was nice to meet up with our exiles again, renewold acquaintances and savour the atm::>sphereof a big orienteering event. Andhowdid I do, well 1 finished in 28th place (out of 64) with my best 4 results. Lack offitness meant my times were slow and I have vowed solemnly that I will be fit for the1989 Scottish 6-Day at Loch Lotrond. Even the song gives a route choice ''Youtake the high road and I '11 take the low road "
