Brimham Rocks Results 24/11/2013

Control 206

This control was on the Black and Green courses and was reported not to be working by 4 people. It turned out to have an intermittent fault and these 4 have been reinstated. This has mildly confused splitsbrowser.

Planners comments

Thanks to everyone for turning up today, it was good to see such a large turnout.

This was the first time that Brimham has been used for a Middle Distance Event and judging by the comments it’s an ideal area.

Planning was complicated by the fact that in August and September, the bracken was higher than me and in a lot of places in the Northern part of the area more like Forest Fight.  I actually couldn’t get to some of the places that I was considering for control sites.  The difficulty then being anticipating how much it would die down by the time of the event.  So I decided to err on the side of caution and try and plan courses that avoided the worse of the bracken and would be acceptable even if it hadn’t died back too much.  I think this was successful. I hope you found the courses challenging, but enjoyable.

Many thanks to Ian for his helpful and calm controlling and to Graham for his efficient organising.
