PHYSICAL TRAINING
On certain Mondays UBOC members meet up for a training run/jog/intervals around the downs. We meet up at the Water tower at 6pm and all abilities welcome. See you there!
TECHNICAL TRAINING
Autumn term – We have technical training on Wednesday afternoons at different locations around Bristol with our new coach, Bethan Logan! These will range from the basics of folding and setting the map to more advanced compass work and map memory. They are completely informal and you can turn up to whichever ones you want and whenever you can make it.
NEXT SESSION: 9th November: This week’s session will be focusing on map memory skills, with a progressive course to ease you in before allowing the show-offs amongst you to dive in off the deep end. We will be at Ashton Court this week with an earlier start time of 3pm to keep darkness at bay. Finish at 4.30pm and meet at the visitor centre car park (by the big yellow house).
BOK CLUB NIGHTS
UBOC members have also been invited to the BOK club nights every fortnight on Wednesdays at Coombe Dingle Sports centre. The club nights can be anything from orienteering exercises to circuit training sessions that are suitable for all fitness levels, ages and abilities. £2 to take part and they are great fun and a good opportunity to meet local orienteers outside of the university!
NEXT SESSION; TBC
