Manchester and District Orienteering Club Ye Olde Park Gate Inn, Over Peover, Countryside Score EventWednesday 12th June 2013 |
I’d like to thank:
- All 57 competitors who attended the event –a jolly good turnout!
- Zoe, Matt and their team at Ye Olde Park Gate for their hospitality, coping
with the influx of orienteers and providing some very tasty and good value
food and ale
- Richard Massey of Mellor Braggins, Estate Manager for Peover Park
- Dave Oldham, Head Gardener for the Peover Estate
- Heather Clawson at Tatton Estate Management
- Jane McCann for the map extract
- Steve Lang for the printing
- Sue Birkinshaw for stepping in to help with time-keeping
- Vicky Thornton for help with results processing, and
- Andy Thornton for his leadership and contributions on the night.
I’m pleased to see that every control was visited in the course of the competition.
It is apparent from the pattern of answers that various route options were
taken, understandably somewhat different for the 60 and 90 minutes options.
And in case you’re wondering, I still don’t know what the best route option
is.
Happily, I’ve marked only 15 responses as incorrect, out of 923 total responses.
I tried hard to make each clue really precise, but it’s clear that I slipped
up on control 18: East side of polo pitch, how many rails are provided for
parking your horse?, which generated a surprisingly large variety of answers,
all of which I’ve now accepted.
At Q5, there are 3 bears, of which (in my opinion) the owl can see 2. I always intended to allow answers of 2 or 3 here.
Two people gave Peover Farmhouse as the answer to Q9, but with 22 correct answers of ‘The Kennels’, I’ve decided not to allow the alternative.
Q13 and Q23 caused problems, and I’ve only allowed the answers that I proposed,
which match the majority of responses.
Finally, congratulations to Steve Lang and Tom Fellbaum for winning the 90
and 60 minute events respectively. Strong running indeed!
