A word or two from our mapper/course setter, Greg Bacon.
Just a few details on todays event.
A big thanks to everyone that turned up in very trying and miserable conditions. This was a new map for our park series and I would like to thank Russell Rigby for setting up and fine tuning the map for me. There is still a little work to do especially with the continual changes depending on the regeneration and mowing around the area.
I must apologise to a handfull of short course competitors that picked up the control description sheet with one wrong number. I had changed the control stand as it was faulty but left the old number on some of the description sheets.
I also managed to give Peter Newton the wrong map at the start. Peter came back after a short run as his control descriptions did not match the map. Peter recovered well to finish at the top of the short course.
Most competitors seemed to enjoy running around in the wet and hopefully the course was challenging for everyone!
Special thanks to Kerry Bacon, Tim and Andrea Hackney for helping with the entries and the start/finish. It was very demanding in the conditions, thanks again!
Thanks to Mick Kavour for helping us set up and on control pick up: Tim Hackney, Glenn Burgess, Steve and Geoff Todkill and Greig and Diana Scott. Also thanks to the old guy that started collecting controls for us before the event had finished, luckily the last runners had been through the area.
