From the course planner:
The majority of the 130+ competitors were treated to a sunny and fine event in mostly open forest with intricate rock detail, and the occasional leech. Expecting a few extra entries, Geoff Todkill had printed some additional maps for the shorter courses. However, we ran out of Long Hard maps, so thanks to one or two of you who coped with my hand-drawn courses done at short notice. By 11.30am, the showers had set in so later competitors without a plastic map bag had the challenge of keeping their map dry enough to finish their course. Thanks to the team of on-the-day helpers who ensured a successful event.
