The hope was I could come up with a couple of courses that made you think (without being unfair) and got a decent length in (without running up & down the same paths). For the Short(er easier) Course it was trying to balance making it more than just a path run against covering the place in controls! For the Long(er harder) Course hopefully there were a few route choice decisions to be made and there weren’t too many occasions when you were running to X just for the sake of it. As you are now aware the ‘Rough Open’ varies a lot in what it actually is, so that had a large bearing on the course layout – if this event had been in 6 months time the courses would have looked a lot different. Indeed some of the vegetation is actively managed, so I was relieved that warden and his team hadn’t got fully stuck into this year’s work – that could have made a mess of things!
From what I’ve heard it seems to have come out all not too bad, which is pleasing, and I’m glad it seems that almost everyone had a good/fun/different/interesting/enjoyable run.

For those running with SI-Card 5’s, the specifications clearly show that it can cope with 30 controls (plus Start etc.), but of course that doesn’t account for any double-dibs – a lesson learnt here! Rest assured that although the results show no timings for the last control(s) the visits are registered, and the final time is correct. Take a look at Winsplits and you can see it has estimated those missing values for you.

My thanks to Kim for Controlling (and controlling) me, and for all those that assisted me before & throughout the day. Also to the Heath’s warden & local landowner for allowing us to host the event & parking (apologies for not remembering your names). It was great to see so many people turn up – we had 86 runs – thank you all.

Daniel.
