Keyne-O Event 6 : Ouzel Valley South

Comments

Thanks to everyone who braved the sunshine to take part, particularly those who travelled from a distance. We decided to explore the valley area itself rather than go round the lake as we've done before, and some regulars seemed to enjoy the chance to explore unfamiliar areas offering more variety than a lakeside circuit. From a planning point of view, there were many more interesting features to use in this direction. At times the tensions between our informal park events and a more competition-centred event did show, and I hope that our approach didn't spoil anyone's enjoyment. I'm aware that few competitors on the long course found the route through the canal tunnel, and that some found the mini-controls took some getting used to; perhaps this course may have worked even better in reverse. Finally thanks to the crack team of volunteers who ensured everything was ready well before 10am and for keeping the event running smoothly.

Lost property: One pair of light blue sunglasses.
