This long standing race was held on the Kinniside fells in a glorious sunny weather. The team had produced an outstanding new map of a very large area which will give further scope for exciting orienteering. Next year the Copeland Chase is likely to move to its 'original home'...... but arrangements are still in their early stages so keep a lookout for details as the year progresses. It is a great format and provides high quality competition. Congratulations to Steve Birkinshaw on a second win!!
