Great area, keen competitors, correct controls - shame about the weather.

The spread of controls is always difficult to estimate for this type of event - thank you Bryn for making me look competent by getting all but one of the 27 controls within the hour.

This event was very easy to organise and offered some unique opportunities;

• Mums, Dads, Sons, Daughters, Friends and Foes can all compete on equal terms,
• New comers can choose the difficulty of control/route choice so confidence can be boosted, or revised as the case may be,
• Simple and easy to organise (however some planning experience is required),
• A great opportunity to socialise with everyone starting and finishing at the same time,
• A fresh use for a tired (well used) area.

Email registering was an interesting exercise - by close-off I had 30 entered, so I organized 50 maps to be printed. By the Friday before the event I had 53 coming. On the day we had some phone calls with more wanting to come - the resultant crowd = 31, back to where I started!

As always many thanks to those who helped with the event, you know who you are - keep it up.
