Organiser and Planner's Comments.

Thanks to everyone who competed. I did not expect such a large turn out and it certainly made the day worthwhile for me and everybody else who helped on the day. Rothamsted is a pleasant park, but a little bit limited for orienteering. Thus whilst perfect for a yellow course, the score course was never going to contain legs of technical difficulty. The score format hopefully livened things up. I spent a while deciding on a 30 or 35 minute time limit. Given the number of competitors between 30 and 35 minutes I fear I made the wrong choice! A control on the score course was misplaced early on. This was due to an error transcribing the courses to the overprinted maps, apologies for this. Luckily it was very visible from the correct site.

Many thanks for John Currie in helping to organise the event. He arranged both land permission and the car park, making my role as organiser mainly nominal. Thanks also to everybody else who helped on the day, Eric Brown, Dave & Jenny Tookey, Jill Chapman & Hedley Calderbank.
