Notes:

Control 109 was incorrectly placed for early/fast mass start runners.  The leg times before and after control 109 have been removed for all runners on the Green, Blue and Brown courses.

The start time for the mass start was 1 minute early.  All times for the mass start have been adjusted.

Planners Comments

Apologies to all those who found control 109 missing.  I’m very grateful to Steve Hardy for discovering this and rectifying the error relatively early on, before the problem had been flagged at download.  I have to take responsibility for this error – I managed to mark the site incorrectly on an “all controls map” and tag it to match, yet mark it in its correct location in all the course maps.   I can only blame jet lag – several trips abroad in September clearly turned my brain to porridge, and also meant that Steve had far less than the usual time to check what turned out to be quite a complex set of courses given the loops and gaffles.

This is all the more galling because otherwise the courses seemed to work as intended and the turnout was very gratifying.  The butterfly-loop format allows courses up to Brown length to be planned which would otherwise be difficult in such a small area, and the focus on direct competition makes up for the lack of technical difficulty.

I especially hope the large number of newcomers on the junior courses enjoyed their courses and will come back for more!

My thanks to everyone who helped on the day and especially to Brian who took on the organiser’s role at very short notice.

Controllers Comments

I'll start by adding my apologies to Peter's on the initial misplacing of control 109 and, however much Peter claims responsibility the buck stops here. I'm afraid we spent too much time making sure the different butterflies where consistent and not enough checking where the circles were. In the final results we have removed the legs involving 109 as the only fair way to deal with the problem.

Otherwise the event seemed to go well and except for a few later runners we missed significant rain.  The map is a little out of date and in places the undergrowth is more vicious than the map suggests but for the most part Peter steered you away from the worst of it.

The bloodliset format is interesting and enables a small area like Ampthill to support longer courses without getting too tortuous and Peter's courses worked well.
