The Chevin

Cold and dry. Great night-O conditions. I was determined to make the course Jack- and Leon-proof, i.e. you couldn't get all the controls. A score

event with start/finish at the top of a very steep hill makes for some tricky decisions. How far down to go? As well as the usual … What's my
optimum route? When to switch maps? Which controls to sacrifice? Congratulations to Ian Furlong for topping the scores.

Feel free to check your scores. Note the cruel, ascending scale of penalty points has been rigorously applied. It's a tough world.

Thanks to ChrisB for co-ordinating the series and to Nicky for help on the night. Good comments, no injuries, everyone accounted for. Just when
I thought it wouldn't get any better, three of you volunteered to collect controls! Huge thanks to DavidA, LucyT and IanF.
