Planners Comments

Let’s start with an apology to all those who were affected by the missing numbers. Sorry!! It was all going too well: I collected the kit from Lew at 10am. The sun was shining and I managed to get all the controls out in 3 hours. I then headed home. It wasn’t ‘till 4pm that I thought BUGGER – the numbers!! Then, due to baby sitters availability I wasn’t able to get back to Smallhanger until 5.15. I managed to get about half of the numbers out by bike but ran out of light and we needed to get starts underway.

Smallhanger has always been difficult in broad daylight let alone at night. I considered avoiding Wheal Florence but it seemed a shame to waste such a wonderfully technical area. Congratulations to Andrew Ranson (only 13 years old) for flying around the Orange with no problems, to Phil Way on the Green (for ensuring that the winner of the Green League will be decided on the final event of the season) and to Arthur Boyt on the Jade for his innovative route choice (enough said – ask Arthur).

Thank you’s go to Chris Ranson and Donna for running Registration, Sales, Starts and Finishes. A massive thank you to Phil and Alex Way for helping to collect the controls in and to all of you for braving the cold weather and entering into the spirit of night orienteering.
