Event Report

 Many thanks for all who turned up for the first in this years series. A mixed area of flat and (big) hills. At least one person went up to the highest controls above Lyme Park.

My apologies about clues 20 and 30 for in the first case the ambiguity and in the second the circle being way out of place. I have been lenient with these clues but everyone got them anyway. It takes quite a number of hours to firstly find then check these clues and mistakes happen.

For 24, I accepted any type of bird,raptor, eagle, hawk, owl.

Well done to team Hilliard who ventured out for what turned into a hilly 10k venture.

If you have any queries please contact us.
