The British orienteering “high season” for 2005-6 is now well under way – it runs from February-May in England, March-June in Scotland – and most of the big events of the year are coming in the next couple of months.
My planned events (using the fixtures map filtered view):
Tomorrow – Selhurst Park regional.
19th March – Hatfield Forest district.
25th March – Frith Hill local.
26th March – Epping South district.
1st-2nd April – British Champs & Relays, Midhurst.
9th April – Compass Sport Cup Round 1, Wisley.
14-17th April – JK, Yorkshire.
23rd April – No orienteering. 🙂
29th-30th April – Fonthill/Stourhead national (maybe.)
7th May – Perham Down district.
14th May – Shooter’s Hill district score. (Dodge the burnt out cars in SE London.)
21st May – Rushall farm district.
28th May – Ightham district.
4th June – Coombe Hill district. (I’ve walked to Coombe Hill – very nice place.)
June is local events and summer evening events, July is touring the multi-days in Europe!

Thats cool. RSS would be great, and the GE network link is kinda related as it’s just a different ML standard to output the data (see http://www.keyhole.com/kml/kml_tut.html). Will definatly be better with the information available from your fixtures list; ability to add event description to the placemarks, change icon depending on date (just like you’ve already done with GMaps) etc. Good work!
Thanks Chris. I’m hoping to add an RSS feed soon, and I’ll add your link for GE onto the map page too. I haven’t downloaded GE yet (it only came out for the Mac in January) but will take a look at it Real Soon Now.
I thought someone would already have done it, awesome!
It started with me wanting to easily find out where all the O events were and I quickly came up with this: http://www.cdavidson.co.uk/temp/ge.php (Just point Google earth there as a network link).
But then your Fixtures map is awesome! and you’ve already spent a while decomposing the bof fixtures page (which must have been fun) and therefore your much more qualified to support this as a feature. It would be sweet…
