We have three 2025 Midlands Champions to celebrate. Derwent Valley Orienteers hosted this year’s championships at Chinley Churn in the Peak District. This area of exposed moorland provided a lot of intricate rocky detail to navigate, along with an abundance of contours, many of them quite close together!

Congratulations to our winners Steve Blackmore (M45), Simon Thompson (M60) and Alison Sloman (W85).
