Vi blev väldigt väl mottagna av Israel, som vill utveckla sin orientering. Det här var ett steg.\u003Cbr>- Vi höll några föreläsningar och berättade om orientering i Sverige. Vi pratade om hur vi förbereder oss, tränar och tävlar.\u003Cbr>De tio dagarna gav mersmak.\u003Cbr>- Vi bodde några dagar först i mellersta Israel innan vi åkte vidare norrut, där vi avslutade lägret.\u003Cbr>- Det är viss skillnad på att halka omkring här hemma och att springa i 20-gradig värme. Det var bra terräng och bra kartor. En perfekt start på det nya året, säger Linnea.\u003Cbr>- Orienteringen skiljer sig en del från svensk mark och skogar. Terrängen är lite karg i Israel.

De fyra tjejerna bildar tillsammans med Anna Forsberg en vass kvintett. Förra året slutade ett ungdomligt Kolmårdslag överraskande tia och var faktiskt bästa helsvenska lag i skånska Ljungbyhed.\u003Cbr>- Tiomila är ett stort mål.
