Organisers comments
Many thanks for turning up for this event which had been re-arranged following cancellation in
January due to bad weather. I must apologise for the arrangements at registration / parking as
we had expected to be able to use the parking area adjacent to registration, but the ranger did
not turn up to un-lock the gate - sorry.
Standing at the finish and looking at the condition of some competitors it looks like it may have been
a bit too warm - it was certainly hot and sunny at the finish. Maybe the longer courses would have
benefitted from a few diversions into the stream to cool you off.
Some competitors seemed to find the area a bit too difficult - not only physically but also technically.
It is the path network which makes it so, but for the longer courses really this should make it easier.
The use of the laminated signs also caused a few problems for some, depending on how you approached the
control. I had tried to site the signs so that they would be easily seen from what I thought would be the
logical approach. In an area such as this the use of conventional O equipment is out of the question
without having the majority of controls guarded. As we are a small club this would have been out of the question.
The use of laminated signs allowed us to use what I think is a superb area - we just need to get the weather
right next time.
