Comments - Peter Ross (Organiser/Planner)

The aim was to support a 75 minute event, which in one way turned out to be a closer call than I first thought. The useable area is wide but not especially deep and only just fitted onto A4 landscape at a scale of 1:15,000

The map was traced over an OS download, which included houses and buildings. I felt that it was important to get the exact location of each control and this level of detail was a great help. I wasn't sure how wide the lines depicting the roads should be and I drew them more the thickness of slices of gammon than parma ham. Nobody seemed to mind.

There was only one pub suitable as a base, and this was over to the east. The controls were scattered randomly - with a hint of divine intervention, and an aversion to dogs' legs - and consequently the majority of the points were to be found to the west of the start/finish. This led a number of competitors to adopt the free dive strategy of daring to go as far as possible before turning back, knowing that the penalty for a misjudgment would be disaster. Most orienteers are optimists I think.
