Munster League #3: Seefin (The Nagles) Sunday March 22nd Results and Report

The third event in the 2015 Munster League took place in Seefin in the The Nagle mountains of North Cork. Almost 60 competitors ventured out on a very foggy Sunday morning but thankfully by the time they arrived at their orienteering destination the fog had lifted to reveal some stunning views across the Nagles. 

The competitors had six courses to choose from all of which offered their own challenges. The terrain was rough in places and participants had to negotiate their way around numerous felled trees. There was an abundance of earth walls to aid navigation on various legs. As the morning progressed the blue skies appeared and there was definitely a sense of Spring in the air. In the forest itself some delicate foot work was required to avoid the numerous pools of frogs spawn. The Common Frog, is the only native frog we have in this country and is now a protected species due to the declining populations.
