"I've been Orienteering for 10 years and joined SHUOC 5 years ago when I came to Uni as a nice way to continue my Hobby. Since joining SHUOC I've realised how big and competitive the sport is and have converted my hobby into a more serious competitive side of the sport. Shuoc's social side of the club is fantastic and is a key selling point of the club, Particularly SPOOK weekend and trips away to BUCS and Jukola."
