Ok so after a long gap, two of the Maprunner Team are taking part in the London Vitality 10km race on the 2nd May. We are running on behalf of Chickenshed Theatre BA group who want to raise money to take their shows out to local schools this summer. Please support us if you can. It's not the usual two Maprunner runners!!

Thanks to Chris and all the team for this week's activities - Mrs Maprunner has resigned herself to be propping up the bottom of the table again! We have produced some intermediate results from today for those that have completed the Map Memory and Catching Features rounds - with scores redacted for now to avoid any advantages for those yet to play: https://www.maprunner.co.uk/lockdown-results/results/e002

Lockdown Orienteering Results

So Mr Maprunner is up and ready for todays action. 2 days done, and how are Team Maprunner doing so far? Mr Maprunner nearly lost his quiz yesterday before submission. Master Maprunner 1 went to bits on the CD quiz. Mrs Maprunner took so long on Catching Features that dinner was late. Master Maprunner 2 was too busy with his TikTok challenge take part.

How many people spotted that today's Lockdown Orienteering Catching Features map was Singleton Park, Swansea as used for the JK 2014 sprint race? The competition used the W21E course which was won by Tessa Hill at the real thing six years ago.
