Planners Comments:
This was the first night event I have planned, and I targeted winning times of 50 mins for the Blue and Green courses. The courses were slightly longer than I expected probably due to it being a night rather than day event…… or dare I say runners being slowed up by having too many Christmas meals :). On the first trip to the forest it became obvious to me that controls needed to be on large features within the forest because of the height of the bracken. Although the bracken died down somewhat by the date of the event, this served me well given it was a night event. I hope everyone found the courses fair, with several different routes choices for most controls. Even when Crown Estates threw in a few last minute requirements with extra OOBs, I hope the different route choices proved interesting. I would like to thank Eoin for organising such a wonderful event and Pete the controller who provided excellent input into the courses.
Finally I would like to say a big thank you to all the Christmas elves who stood in for me on the day. I tested positive for COVID on the Wednesday and felt none of you would have wanted this as a surprise Christmas present, so I had to stay away from the event.
