Fastest wins, but that doesn't mean the quickest runners always come out on top. It's a balancing act between pace across the ground and how quickly you can plan your route. "I am delighted to see these girls set such a high standard for the keen orienteerers coming through the from both the Senior and Junior schools."   Date Posted: 28 September, 2021 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/orienteering-championships) ## Articles for: Senior, Junior, Sport ![Adventures in the Mendips](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Y3%20cavers%20.jpg?width=770&name=Y3%20cavers%20.jpg) **Adventures in the Mendips** Date Posted: 14 March, 2022 Our girls (just like our staff!) love an adventure so we provide as much opportunity as we can to get them out and...
