Planner’s Comments

Lynford is a mostly pleasant but not particularly technical area, with little contour detail, so my main aim on the senior courses was to reward accuracy, good route selection, and concentration, all at speed. As usual in a working forest, the existing map was considerably out of date and at some point will need a complete overhaul. On this occasion a partial update had to suffice, so I can only apologise for any inaccuracies. Forestry work in the two days preceding the event led to one clear felled area unexpectedly changing from very slow rough open to super-fast!

I had originally intended to use the far Northern part of the wood, but needed only one look at it to realise that that should be saved for another year, following more surveying than time permitted on this occasion. This probably led to a reduction of variety on the longer courses, although I was able to test the Brown course runners with a sprint section around the Arboretum area towards the end instead!

Many thanks to Controller Graham Wardle for spotting my many errors, and for his helpful suggestions, and to the usual club stalwarts for all their help and support.
