A number of regular orienteers from MDOC, DEE, SELOC, SYO and HOC also turned up, and the White, Yellow, Orange, Long Orange, Green and Blue courses were all tried and some favourable comments were received. However, no-one was tempted to do the longest Brown course - which was perhaps not surprising given the weather!

Groups from Sandbach School and Manchester Outdoor Learning took part, and also a group of Scouts from somewhere in the south Midlands who were en route for a few days hill-walking in the Peak District.

The special large-scale A4 maps available for the White and Yellow courses, as opposed to the standard all controls map which is A3, were popular with the juniors and newcomers.

The informal inter-club competition was won by DEE, with MDOC second and SELOC third.
