Halliday is número uno around Kenilworth

Organised by Mike Hampton, the event started out from Abbey Fields before moving into the town.

The new map drawn up by Hampton was used for two courses, a 5.6k long and a 3.6k medium.

Matt Halliday (M20) easily won the long course in 35min 53sec, with Tom Honniball (M21) second in 41:56, just one second ahead of Alan Segar (M35).

On the Urban medium course, Stephanie Ellis-Gray was first in 34:33, ahead of John Bowman (M65, 40:15) and Jackie Stuart (M55, 44:59).

Two courses were planned around the park and, on the medium 3.6k course, Paul Taylor (M35) was first in 22:04. Sam Hart (M12) was second, with John Ward (M65) third.

Alfie Bullus (M12) won the short 2.2k course in 24:41, ahead of Finn Donaldson (M8) and first-timer Bradley Powles (M10).

Droobers will be welcoming new and experienced orienteers to three Wednesday evening events during August at Ryton Pools (10th), Brueton Park, Solihull (17th) and Coundon Hall Park, Coventry (24th).
