We first planned the courses in April when the event was originally scheduled. The control sites then were clearly visible with the bracken just showing and the bluebells out. Quite a change now with some of the bracken over head height. It was tricky to get the Blue course in without second master maps - we mapped an extra bit of the area to get some extra length.

We apologise to those who ran Yellow and Light Green for the mistakes on those courses. On Yellow control 7 was sited in the wrong place and the control description sheet had an extra control over the map. On Light Green control 6 was unfairly sited and caused a lot of grief. We hope your evening was not unduly spoilt by these mistakes.

In the end the weather was kind to us. As we travelled to the area earlier in the day to put the controls out we drove through a torrential downpour. By the time we arrived it had eased off somewhat but we still got pretty wet particularly wading through the bracken. By the evening, things had dried out though and it turned out nice.

We would like to thank Mr David Standen, National Trust Warden for helpful advice while planning the courses, and Mr Sorenson for allowing the Blue Course to run over part of his land known as Sandhills. Many thanks are also due to Chris Rostron and John Britton for collecting controls and enabling us to finish the job before dark. Thanks also to Jim Nightingale for the smooth way in which beautifully sorted equipment can so readily be collected and returned.

We hope you all enjoyed the evening.

Organiser's comments

Firstly, apologies for the slight delay in the results. I had to resort to the manual method of checking and typing everything by hand, rather than pressing the button marked 'check punches and produce results' which is where the electronic punching system wins. I hope everyone enjoyed the return to a more traditional orienteering event on what is always a surprisingly tough area, especially when the bracken (the original test bracken developed for military camouflage purposes) gets going.

Many thanks to the Bryants for doing the start, Tim, Mike and Dave for the finish and most of all to Christopher and Eleanor Owens who were great fun and baled the finish and on-the-day results out when things were looking most creaky. Thanks to the Cumpsteys for Planning, Jim for the Equipment and thanks to Dave Standen for giving me the keys - otherwise you would have had no toilets and all been locked in at 7.30.

There was one item of lost property, a pair of 'Police' sun-glasses. If they are yours then claim them quick, before I see how much I can get for them at the Man Utd supporters club.

Paul Jarvis and Julia Simpson.
