40 Years of the Scottish 6 Days
by John Warren
The Scottish 6 days – Half a lifetime of Orienteering!
It seems hardly credible that the Warren family have taken part in 20 Scottish 6 Days events, missing only Highland 77 which was before we really knew what the word ‘Orienteering ‘ meant! Encouraged by Mike and Cris Tween and the fact that we had got involved in organising JK79 in Devon, Barbara, Alison, Richard and I decided to spend our summer holiday in Scotland and include in it Trossachs 79 based on the aptly named ‘Drip Camp’ near Stirling.
It was a real baptism of fire for us all, particularly as the bracken was 7’ high and almost impenetrable. I achieved a remarkably long time of 170mins on M35S having to return to the Start to find a way to the Finish! Evidently we enjoyed it because we started to look for suitable accommodation for Galloway 81 as soon as we got home!

Becca Ellis adds: Just after the 6 days, on Monday, Debs and I climbed Ben Nevis and got engaged at the top.
She enjoyed the orange courses at the event and obviously wasn't put off marrying me by my orienteering enthusiasm! It was torrential rain shortly before this photo and hail minutes later but this is on the trig Cairn of Ben Nevis.
