COMMENTS

I hope you all enjoyed Summer Series 4, and the opportunity to see Twywell Hills and Dales

in the Summer.  I was pleased with the comments from all involved about their enjoyment

of the scenery and wide variety of flora and fauna (especially the opportunity to stop and pick

strawberries!).

 

My first time planning any event and, if I thought I had planned a green for the medium course,

the times tell me I was obviously wrong. The area is a lot trickier than it appears!

I think that the courses provided a challenge for all competitors, in some cases more than I

anticipated - I know the area too well!

 

Apologies for the description error on permanent control 13 - errrrr, should have been 12!

Northamptonshire soil is obviously very fertile, there was a path through the beans when I

checked a few weeks ago and the nettles seem to have been out in abundance where the

southern woods had been cleared.

 

Thanks for all your comments which I can take into account next time I do any planning..

Thanks to all who helped in setting up and running the event, especially David Rose for time

keeping and my wife, Jill, for providing first aid cover (even for dogs!).

From the SMOC point this was possibly not the best time to attract the bulk of the club but to those of you who this was the first of our summer series I hope you enjoyed it, you will certainly saw some parts of Buckingham not seen by the ring road users. 

For the scouts Friday evening is a better date but I see that honours must mainly go to those with local knowledge which means next year we must move to Winslow to even out chances.

Thanks go to 1st Maids Moreton for allowing us to use their HQ as the Event Centre.

Comments
Thank you for coming along to Stewartby Country Park. I hope you enjoyed your run/walk. The sun may not have been shining but at least it was dry.
 
I planned and organised the event as a typical low-key Summer Series Event with some complications along the way. I made a few late concessions when I realised it was being advertised by the Country Park and on getting a few enquiries from other people. It was just as well I accepted the many offers of help that came in. 'Overwhelmed' I think was my feeling a few minutes after ten o'clock and I gratefully handed over to Keith, Stan, Rosie, David and the rest. Everything seemed to go swimmingly after that.
 
Apologies for the long grass and the undergrowth which certainly wasn't there when I planned the courses many weeks before. The reason for the early planning was an impending hernia operation which finally materialised just two weeks before the event, so no last-minute changes. I had concerns about the difficulty of the courses for non-orienteers and for the length of the Long Course but, judging by the results neither seemed to pose to many problems. Everyone I spoke to seemed to have enjoyed themselves and those who were out the longest seemed to have enjoyed themselves the most.
 
If you're new to Orienteering I hope you're now hooked and we'll be seeing you again at other events.
