Airienteers - The Orienteering Club of Airedale and Wharfedale

AIRE Colour Coded Event

Calverley Woods, 19th Apr 1998


Officials' Comments

 

Planner's’ comments

We were very pleased to see 220+ orienteers at Calverley Woods with a Lake District badge event on the same day. Thankfully the rain kept off until the final control had been collected.

As with many city-edge woodlands, Calverley presents a mixed experience. Constrained by its shape and with so many easy catching features it is especially difficult to devise challenging long legs. On the other hand, there are several beautiful areas of runnable woodland contrasting with some testing rock and contour detail.

For the shorter courses the myriad of paths provide plenty of scope – sometimes too much! We trust that the careful siting of controls and good visibility helped avoid confusion.

The area of rampant holly bushes appeared to be particularly challenging. We endeavoured to select features with solid attack points. Did you use them?

Returning form the 2nd master maps with a long path run, we deliberately threw the longer courses into the quarry complex. Although path options reached for almost 99% we were surprised at how many orienteers jumped into the complex and somentimes grotty area at the earliest opportunity.

Fearing the worst we were relieved to have only one control vandalised. Affecting red and blue courses we had to re-unite the kite (code 262) with its crag site and punches. Thanks to the ‘patrollers’ for maintaining a ‘presence’ in vulnerable areas.

Grateful thanks to controller Pete Jones and to Chris Burden for standing in on the day. With three children Pete provided a valuable kiddie-perspective for the white course as well as improving several design features on other courses. Thanks to Chris Burden, Guy Patterson and Katie McInnes for helping to collect controls and to Gemma for giving Mum and Dad the OK to immerse themselves in 'O'’ for a while.

Organiser'’s comments

It has been said before but without a good support system and helpers a local event such as Calverley could not be held. Luckily the weather stayed fine and the dreaded covers were not needed (which I'm sure Fred, Gill and their helpers were only too pleased about). Our apologies about the descriptions on the light green course, hope it did not cause too many inconveniences.

I shall be vociferous in my complaints about the standard of the toilet(s) to Bradford city council, I'm sure that those of you who used them/it would agree it wasn't worth the twelve pounds charged. Thanks must go to Woodhouse Grove School for the use of their car park which meant that we did not have to park on the main road.

Finally, thanks to you all for turning up, hope you had a good run and day.

Controller-on-the-day comments

Having only set foot in the wood the day before the event, I was amazed at the onward progress of the holly, which is making more and more of the area unrunnable. It was good to note at the finish the overwhelmingly appreciative comments you had to make about Rob and Lindsey's courses.

Chris Burden

 

Controller'’s comments

Thanks to Rob & Lindsay who did manage to make a few variations on legs in an area used many many times before, and especially to Chris Burden for undertaking my on the day controlling duties, having been unfortunately called away to sunny Spain on business.

Pete Jones

 

Some requests from the results team

There were a surprising number of control cards with no competitor information, even one on the blue course. Please make sure that you write your name, club, etc legibly on the control card so we can produce more meaningful results.

Also if you put a results envelope in the box, please DO NOT SEAL it as it cannot then be used.

Thank you
