Liz Phillips:

“On Sunday April 2nd, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to run for England, competing at an international Orienteering competition in southern Belgium. I was pleased to finish in 3rd place in my age class, and received a bronze medal. The England team were the winners of the competition.

An Orienteering race involves finding a number of specific places in a forest as quickly as possible, using a detailed map of the forest, and a compass. Competitors start at minute intervals so they can’t follow each other, and have to choose their own routes to find the 'controls'."
