Planner's Comments
After making a couple of faux-pas with the question sheet I feel that I have no other choice than to be lenient with the marking. (Questions 28 & 29 and again 31 & 32 should have been swapped around) My apologies for that: I had spotted the errors in the drafts but somehow the wrong version of the clue sheet got printed.
So for control 28, for instance, the slightest squiggle gets a mark - but that doesn’t compensate for time lost in the search.
Congratulations to the winners. It was pleasing to see that all controls had been visited and that as many people opted for the Ladder Hill side as went for the Taxal side.
Thanks to you all for coming on what we hope will be the first of many fine summer evenings this year.
Thanks also to Dave who dealt with the administration so soon after his sterling exploits on Angle Tarn, to Barbara for dealing with registration, and to the staff at the Shady Oak for looking after us in spite of us blocking their car park.
The initials TW on the side of Fernilee Hall (control 20) stand for Thomas Williamson, one-time owner of the Fernilee Gunpowder factory. The factory survived into the 1920’s but is now lost under expanse of the reservoir.
