Airienteers had one overall winner at the three-day Springtime in Shropshire festival in veteran international Ruth Ker.

Three regional events were staged, which provided some contrasting challenges, including open fell, old mine workings, and mixed woodland.

Ker cruised to victory in the W40 class with scores of 1st, 1st, and 2nd on each of the three days.

New recruit Annette Kindschi continued her impressive form with runners-up spot in the W21 class (2nd, 9th, and 3rd), while Ali Wood (veteran international running in the M50 race) claimed third position overall in his category.

Other results: M55 Martyn Gill 7th; W40 Joyce Marshall 5th; M21 Ben Stevens 11th, Steve Watkins 29th; M35 Andy Hind 14th; M40 Graham Watson 27th; M45 Ian Marshall 12th, Paul Wood 44th; M50 Peter Jones 10th, Nick Jones 19th, Graham Stuart 27th; M55 Ken Patterson 41st; M65 Robert Ker 6th; W55 Pamela Stuart 21st.

At junior level, Jack Wood was fourth at M18), Helen Wood third at W14 and Cerys Jones fourth at W16.
