Welcome.
I am Headless Chicken and this is my website/blog/orienteering thing. I can imagine that at the moment you are wondering why on Earth anyone would call a website Headless Chicken so I shall explain: there are two types of orienteer, the first type look for the controls in an organised, sensible way and the second type get to the approximate area the control is in and run around for a while till they find it (there are other types but I won't go into detail). These two groups go by the names of GPS and headless chicken. Ok so what if I just made that up.
Oh and by the way. The purpose of this website (if there is one) is to help me get my Duke of Edinburgh.




The picture below is of Chickens that no longer come orienteering (did they go to KFC and never come back?!) but I reckon that I should keep a record of who they are so people can understand my older adventures.



NEWish NEWS
HEADLESS CHICKEN INVADES WOC RADIO SPECIAL
Well what can I say? There was an orienteering themed radio show (Get It On With Bryan Burnett on the 29th August from 6.30 to 9.00pm) if you missed it but want to hear it you can find a recorded version on the radio equivalent of iplayer HERE. They were asking for people to send in messeges and orienteering related song requests, so we did. The HCy got a mention and later her song was played (maps by maroon 5) and the club got a mention too. However I got mentioned more times than my sister - so take that! The first was when they read out my message but they said I was a man, which is an easy mistake to make given my name but... nooooo! So because of this I got another mention along the lines of "um sorry, the Headless Chicken isn't a boy" and then near the end they played my song! (Somewhere only we know by Keane) This was my first time ever being mentioned on the radio or having a song I requested played so I'm a happy chicken!

HEADLESS CHICKEN FACEBOOK PAGE NOW RUNNING
The HC now has a facebook page. If you havn't seen it yet (and you have facebook) then please head over sometime.

THE HC HAS A LOGO AND HER FIRST T-SHIRT DESIGN
Yes you read that right, I now have a logo. Bet you're amazed.

Now about the t-shirt design. Here's a picture of me with ma wee sister "modeling" the tops -we were actually shoving each other at the time, honestly sisters *sigh*- at Findhorn Beach (I think). You might not be able to read the writing on the back but it says "Don't follow me I'm a Headless Chicken."
