On New Year’s Day last year we ran in fresh snow at Elvaston; the year before in a snow covered forest at Matlock. This year the weather only managed a crisp white frost but I hope you found both the park and Bradley Wood enjoyable to run in. If only Bradley was a bigger area.............
I marked up 60 sets of maps and 58 were taken at the mass start so I either judged correctly or had some luck. A bit of both.
Only one person took up the challenge of a 50 point bonus control in Bradley Wood but then tried on the return leg to pick up a twenty point bonus control in the park. A lateness penalty of 40 points meant that he did not take first place.
My thanks to my two helpers. My wife for organising registration and Katie for helping with putting out the controls and collecting them in. Katie returned home from last nights frivolities in the town in the early (delete) late hours of the morning. Having helped to collect the controls in the afternoon she promptly went home and got back into bed.
Good luck to everyone in their orienteering adventures in 1998!
Stuart Swalwell.
