SI splits are here.

Organisers Comments - Andrew Cordle

Thanks for coming. What a good turnout, despite the unpromising weather. At one stage I thought that we might run out of maps, bu in the end we had a few to spare. We had hoped to produce results on the day, but the high turnout kept us busy with registration and finishers. Thanks to Emily for doing the computer work on the day, despite having a hangover. Congratulations to Mick Muggeridge on winning the event, and to Braintree Strollers for lifting themselves off the foot of the results table.

Planers Comments - Andrew Cordle

No-one got close to finishing the course, so I expect the mud slowed you down a bit. If I'd known I wouldn't have bothered to put out so many controls.

Rules

This is a Score Individual Relay Options Handicap Event.

Score? - visit as many controls as you can and return to the finish within 60 minutes. Score one point for each control visited (subject to the other rules), loose one point for each minute (or part) taken over 60 minutes.

Individual Relay? - The event consists of six laps (levels). You must visit the all the controls at the first level, in any order, before starting the second level, and so on. You don't need to return to the Start/Finish between levels. The legs get longer and harder as you go through the levels.

Options? The Millennium Fairy has granted you two cheats. You can miss out one or two controls separately or together at any stage in the competition, so if you can't find a control, or there is one a long way from the rest of your route, don't worry. If you don't use one or both cheats, you will get one or two bonus points added to your score at the end.

Handicap? Points will be added based on your 2001 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.

Administration

Exchange your completed entry form and fee for the event map, which shows the location of the Start/Finish, the controls, and toilets (Marked T), and hire SI card if appropriate. Lost SI cards will be charged £15.

You can start whenever you are ready (up to 13:00), but don't start within one minute of the previous starter. Collect the list of controls in each level from the post beyond the Start AFTER you have punched the Start.

Since you have a map with the location of all controls marked, you will know which control you are at, so the controls don't have numbers on them. As the control circles were printed at the same time as the rest of the map, the control is exactly in the centre of the circle, so you don't need control descriptions, though you might need to run around a raised point feature before you find the flag.

You must report back to the registration car to download (and return) your SI card. Take care near water and on the minor road between controls 19 and 15.
