Who's Who ...

Deborah Simmons

Deborah says ...

"I was pressganged into orienteering by my husband who said it would be an enjoyable thing to do (and get me fit!), but he kept from me the fact that I would perpetually find myself lost in the forest, waiting for the fairy to appear! This was 5 years ago. I can't say I have made enormous strides technically, but I do very much enjoy a gentle trot around a course, so much the better if I actually find all the controls. It's the likes of me that keep the likes of you happy knowing you weren't last on your course!

My best achievement? Coming second as a W35S at the triple 'Springtime in Shropshire 1999'".
