Planners Comments

The weekend before the event Chris Burden (Controller) and I spent the day together visiting the various control sites in lovely weather. We altered a few control sites, such as the cairn in the northern part that was on the previous map, but doesn't now exist. We improved the map, such as the eastern area south of the ring road, which had been virtually stripped in the previous week exposing a fair few large rock features that had previously been hidden in dense Rhododendron. We also made minor enhancements to the courses, such as the addition of a control just north of the ring road (on Brown and Blue) to give those not carrying ropes or wearing climbing shoes a better approach to the control on the rock step! It was a very pleasant day, and my dogs definitely enjoyed the exercise, but it served to remind me how technology has changed our sport. Going to the printers 6 days before the event, with no map corrections to publish on the day would have been out of the question only 2 years or so ago.

I started putting out the SI stakes as dusk fell on Saturday evening. By the time some of you were lining up to start your runs in Temple Newson night event I was concluding that my torch beam was too weak to find many more sites, and anyway I was rather cold. I continued the exercise (together with kits and SI units) on Sunday as dawn broke, but it became obvious that I wasn't going to complete this in time. My thanks to Chris who I met in the woods checking the sites that I hadn't been to yet, for agreeing to plant about 10 stakes, kites and SI boxes. As it was I placed the last control at 10 minutes past 10! Advise to other planners - arrange helpers to put out the sites - it takes longer than you think.

As a planner my tests of success are twofold. The first is on the day - the competitor feedback. It's great getting the opportunity to learn what route choices competitors took and why. It's amazing how they find routes you never considered, yet look perfectly reasonable in retrospect. No complaints and quite a few positive comments indicate that we got it right. The second test is the results - do the times align with the guidelines? This is often a tricky one, as it depends who turns up, but the times are in the right ballpark.

The road crossing certainly enhanced the usability of the combined map, avoiding the long return run through the pedestrian tunnel I did hear a rumour that at least one competitor attempted to use the culvert on the way south!. Joan, who was manning the crossing point, made an interesting observation that, many competitors punched on the far side of the road BEFORE looking at their maps to plan the next leg, despite her reminder that they were not being timed until they punched!

A word about the southernmost control on the Brown course. I wanted to use this site to get the distance in, but it was a very exposed location. Last event I planned (Bramham Park a couple of years ago) we lost an SI unit, and the cost of replacement was around £50, so I came up with the idea of 'stealing' this one myself! Apologies to anyone who was put off by the missing box.

And finally, the thank you bit. Thanks to everyone who helped me, not least Chris for agreeing to take on the Controlling role when we couldn't get one from another club. I appreciated his pragmatic approach - "I'll just move the boulder group" a couple of millimetres west" (on the map not on the ground I hasten to add). Thanks to Ken and to the Stuarts for organising the kites etc for me, and thanks to Chris (again), Tim, Ken, Joan and Henk for helping to collect the controls back in. Thanks to whoever it was for organising the weather - perhaps we could have it just a bit warmer when the sun is down next time please?

Controllers Comments

I heard many favourable comments about Dave's courses, with which I heartily concur. The bright crisp morning seemed to add to the enjoyment factor.

Aire had quite a debate a couple of years ago about how the under 10s are featured in the results. We realise that a lot of parents are walking their children round the shorter courses. It is very difficult to separate these from the children orienteering properly on their own, who may lose time through getting lost. This clearly leads to a certain unfairness in the results.

Just as M/W12 relates to children aged 10-12 born in 1991-2, so M/W10 covers children born in 1993 and earlier, realistically aged 8-10. Children younger than 8 are unlikely, in most cases, to have the skills necessary to orienteer independently. I assume age classes younger than M/W10 have been chosen to indicate that the child had adult assistance which would make them non-competitive.

I would ask Club League statisticans, for whom these results are relevant, not to include these children in their calculations. If the above assumption is wrong for your child please notify us and we will change their age class to M/W10. One young child's parents have already told us that the child navigated independently and we have changed the age class up to M/W10.

There is no problem with adults shadowing children at a distance at district (colour coded) events. This is clearly an important part of child safety. It is also perfectly ok for children to run in pairs.

Thanks to Angie and Nigel Hulley for their help.

Plenty of customers – so many in fact I ran out of maps. My apologises to those who had hand drawn control cards.

The string course was put in the school grounds for two reasons.

I had a map of the grounds
I only got a copy of the Adel/Meanwood map and information as to where the start etc was three days before.

Hope you still enjoyed it.
