Manchester and District Orienteering Club Watergrove NW Night League Event |
As I had been able to do very little before Christmas, it was all a little
last minute and not without its issues. Especially when the 'venue' we were
to have used was double booked at the last minute, however, with the excellent
help from the United Utilitities Countryside Ranger, Stephen Jones, we are
able to have use of the Sailboard club which on such a cold night was very
welcome.
I think everyone who came enjoyed the excellent courses that John had put
on and certainly had value for money judging by the times.
As always I had excellent help on the night from MDOC and family. Trevor and
Marie Roberts, Jen Britton, Steve Lang, my wife Eija and son Hanno.
Not to forget the ones behind the scenes who always help every event Pete
Lomas and Eddie Speak.
It's a pleasure to plan on such an excellent area for Night-O. I tried to use the best of the technical stuff and avoid as much as possible of the boggy stuff, though the unwelcome arrival of miles of serious new fences made things a bit tricky. From the times, the lengths look to be a bit on the long side, but some of that was necessary to get round the fences. Thank goodness it was a lovely night !
