Keyne-O 9 : Willen North

Comments

Planning courses based on the Peace Pagoda carpark presents challenges of its own with the temptation to stay in the park and run around the lake, or to mix running in the park with urban areas. I decided on the latter approach and also reduced the number of controls on all courses compared to usual to give longer legs with route choice in between for the Trot and Run. Even the Amble controls were further apart than is usually the case which meant you had to read the map more in between. Did anybody notice? It didn't seem to give anybody problems from comments at the finish. The weather on the day was superb, making a stark contrast to the wintery conditions a year earlier. A big thank you to Ed Nicholas, the British Orienteering Development Officer who presented trophies 'For Complete Keennesss' to everybody who had completed all 2011 Keyne-O events and also collected in most of the controls afterwards.

Next event

This event rounded off the 2011 Keyne-O season. The 2012 series starts again on 11 March at Shenley Wood but the week before on the 4 March we have an event in Holcote and Reynold Wood near Brogborough close to Junction 13 on the M1 so easily accessible for everybody. There will be full range of courses so don't be put off by the thought that it will be too difficult, please put both dates in your diary.

Club Nights

Starting in February 2012 we will be running weekly SMOC club nights in Milton Keynes. Suitable for beginners, improvers and the more experienced. Come along to improve your orienteering and meet more club members. See here for further details.
