British Middle Distance Championships
Near: Otley
Welcome to the 2024 British Middle Distance Championship at Danefield (Chevin Forest Park) - home of some of the finest views in Yorkshire across Wharfedale, with steep and technical orienteering to test your skills.
Entries are now closed. Start Times are available through the Fabian 4 link.
Key Information if you read nothing else.
Parking at w3w: ///standing.jetliner.mime
Please car share. With a high entry, parking is going to be tight.
1.8k no climb - Parking to Arena - can be muddy in places.
Bibs compulsory for Championship courses. Collect Bibs at the Arena.
Toilets only available in the arena.
1.35k 60m gentle climb - Arena to the Start.
Both walks are 100m longer than previously advertised as we have decided to move the arena to a better drained but smaller field, due to the continued wet conditions which were threatening our use of the original field.
Very limited priority parking for anyone with a) a passenger with a disability which makes the walk from Parking impossible, or b) very young children in buggies. Please contact the organiser to arrange a space.
Free String Course (10:30-14:00) and Maze (10:30 - Prize Giving)
Late Changes.
Minor changes made to Start Layout.
Campervan information added in Parking Section
Due to the high number of late entries, parking will now open at 8.40 and the first start will be at 10.40.
This event is paired with the Northern Championships on Sunday 28th April at Kilnsey South.

Interland 2024
3 Airienteers were selected to run for England at the annual Interland event in March held in Ardennes Belgium. This is a six-cornered match against two Belgian teams (Flemish and French speaking), the Netherlands, the French Ligue des Hauts de France de Course d’Orientation and Luxembourg . The competition has teams spanning age groups from W/M14 to W/M60+.
Bethan Buckley W14 was 1st in her race - a superb result in her first international race which she followed up with another 1st at JK. Jo Buckley came 6th in W40 and Emily Gibbins achieved 5th in W20. Excellent results given the very long coach journey there and back!
