| After
the previous day's torrential rain and electric storm, conditions were
good for the event. The wind did make progresss in some directions
easier than others and the grass seemed particularly lush this year. I
wonder why! The results have taken longer to sort out due to a number of extra puzzles we gave you (two different controls at the finish for example) Thanks for the courses, Pete, although I am not so sure about my earlier "lack of sadism" comment). RS |

It
sounded as if you all enjoyed Trina's courses. We were slightly
overwhelmed at times with numbers which we think are the highest we
have ever had on a Saturday

Planner's Comments We had hoped to extend the map before using Since we last used this venue access across the sensitive marsh area has been prohibited and that has further restricted the course setting options in what is already a rather limited area. I didn’t want to use a map exchange – but that made it a struggle to set the harder courses as sufficiently long. The Brown course visited all corners of the map – and still ends up at the short end of the recommended range. It was tempting to put in lots of short legs to extend the length but that would have eliminated most route decisions. It’s always hard to find new TD5 sites here and several weeks of snow cover have crushed much of the undergrowth leaving the woods particularly fast and open at the moment. Enough of the excuses. I hope you enjoyed your course in a glorious part of the country. Many thanks to Trina Rogerson for all her advice and help as Organiser and to Robin Strain for his patient experience and expertise as he stepped into the breach when it proved impossible to find an external Controller.Pete Younger |
