Hello all!
I’ve been asked to do a writeup/press release for PFO (from a competitors view) about the British Schools Score Championships and I thought I’d treat the blog to some more content 
…
On the 9th October 2010, PFO hosted the British Schools Score Championships in Witton Park, Blackburn. On arrival, I collected my race-bib from Mr Gray and assembled at the start area, nervously anticipating the 45 minutes ahead.
After being guided through the start lane along with other competitors, I was off on a journey that would take me through ravines, mud, water and fields, all as quickly as I possibly could whilst being battered by strong winds!
Despite a navigational error which resulted in a 5 minute time penalty I came 10th out of 37 in the Year 8 class and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
At the end of the course, I received ”a little bit of Lancashire” in the form of traditional Lancastrian biscuits from the race officials – and made use of Witton Park with the rest of the club!
All-in-all, it was a great day and I had a great time!
The above report is a PFO press release by youngorienteer.
