A very pleasant evening for the exploration of this urban maze. The map used Ollie O'Brien's open source orienteering map, which seemed to work well. I had to make some quite extensive modifications to the Opensource map that feeds Ollie's website earlier in the year, particularly regarding the footpaths, but also some of the road detail.

So this was a new area for the club and it presented some unexpected challenges. There are extensive footpaths and green spaces as well as the quiet winding roads, where the geography can be confusing. A few years ago, before the area was updated on our sat-nav, my wife and I went to view a house in the village. It took us ages to find the house and even longer to find our way back out again onto the A131 bypass. (We chose not to buy that house!). Unfortunately 3/13 participants 'mis-punched' at least one control (fire hydrant sign), which is rather a high proportion. On the other hand, this was clearly no problem for the winner who recorded an impressively fast time! Most of us rewarded ourselves afterwards with some rehydration in the Oaklands Inn. Thank you to the landlady for allowing us to use their car-park. Thank you also to everyone who took part and my wife, Charlotte for helping at registration.

I hope for a few more runners next time!
