The weather appeared to be fine until the first competitor turned up, then it went downhill from there. In the end it wasn't pleasant at all - cold, wet and windy. I am not sure if the long times were due to the weather, the new (to some) area, or the complexity of the punching system. I do have a few apologies - firstly the use of the personal punch was a last minute decision due to the wet weather and hadn't really been thought through. Secondly the medium course should really have done map 1 & 2, which would have made it a bit shorter, thirdly some of the medium competitor control cards were wrongly marked due to the previous remark and lastly some of the lettering at the control sites was a little bit difficult to read (this was done in a bit of a hurry to try to avoid vandalism). I hope this didnt spoil your enjoyment of what I think is a small gem of an area and hope you will return here when we get some better weather. Thanks to Dave Caudwell for stepping to help out with the start and finish - I am afraid he missed some of the split times as he could not identify some of the 'new' faces as they came into the map exchange. If you know your split times for these legs or feel that your times are wrong then please let me know. Return to NN home page
