This page contains the original event details, a map of the location of the hidden controls, and three photographs of the Woods taken on the day of the event. It's about 450KB so will probably take 2-3 minutes to download (but its worth it?).

EVENT 

45 minute novelty score, one point penalty for each minute (or part) late back. One point for each correct punch, lose one point for each illegible or wrong punch! Handicap points will be added based on your 1999 age class - M21 0 points, M18/20/35 1, M16/40/45 2, M14/50/55 3, M12/60 4, M10/65/70/75 5. Ws will get 2 more points than the corresponding M, and family groups will be assessed by the organiser.

At control sites 1-5 you will find a control flag with a control code and a punch (easy so far …)
Control sites 6-10 have a control flag and punch but no control code (not too hard … )
At controls 11-15 there are two control flags within the circle, each with a punch but no control code - use the one which is in the correct position according to the control description (a bit harder …)
Control sites 16-20 have a control flag, no control code, and no punch, but do have a clue to the location of the punch - you may want to take a pen with you (life wasn’t meant to be easy!)
