Details
The Forest: Lynford comprises coniferous
plantings, typical of much of Thetford Forest, together with smaller areas of
deciduous woodland, an arboretum and old quarry workings. In the spring, much of
the area will be highly runnable.
Organisation: Starts were available between 10.30 am and approximately 12.30 pm, depending on the entries. Club slots were based on a fixed rotation of two minute intervals. Unused slots left by smaller club entries were used to accommodate overflow from larger entries and EA clubs not in the competition.
All courses shared a common start and finish and used SI. The Finish was adjacent to the download tent and the assembly area and was un-manned.
The Courses:
The courses were arranged as follows. (For more information, please refer to
