The 2018 Bois-de-Liesse event was run in bright sunshine in open forests with spring ephemeral flowers in profusion. It was a lovely day with an outstanding turnout to mark the first use of our new map. Four courses were set, Course 1 2.5 km; Course 2, 3.0 km, Course 3 4.5 km, and Course 4 6.2 km. The terrain was wet underfoot with some flooded paths after considerable recent rain. Overall we had 99 starts and 144 participants. It was a great way to welcome the many new members to our club, as well as to mark the beginning of our forest orienteering season. I’d like to thank once again everyone who pitched in and helped make this day a success.
