HUTTON MULGRAVE AND SKELDER WOODS Organisers' Comments

Organisers' Comments

Firstly I would like to thank all the helpers who, as always, did a wonderful job.  Special mention to Di Wright who had the nerve-racking experience of taking responsibility for the computer system for the first time!  Everything seemed to work flawlessly.  The planner and controller did a good job and certainly made my life easier.

The turn-out (123) was about as expected given the remoteness, school half term, and clash of dates with other events.  The weather was the best I have ever known for the time of year at Skelder and most people I talked to seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

Apologies to all those who got stuck in the parking field.  The recent dry weather had made us over-confident as the field seemed much drier than in previous years.  It was certainly a surprise to get 4-wheel drive land rovers stuck.  In fact the 4-wheel drive vehicles seemed to have more trouble than ordinary cars!  Certainly the sight of a JCB pulling the last 4WD Subaru out provided great entertainment for those who were there to the end!!
