Organiser's comments

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Lord Stones / Cringle Moor today!

Wow!  What an amazingly beautiful area for a Spring orienteering event.  Weren't we lucky to have such lovely views to distract us from the challenging, technical courses.  Thanks to Dave Riches.

Today's warm sunshine was quite a contrast to the conditions during Dave and Becky's first recce ...... when the competition area was under snow!  And after that the planning had to be put on hold temporarily while Dave and Tracey went hiking to Everest Base Camp.  (I gather they got a bit beyond Base Camp ...... but apparently didn't make an attempt at the summit.)

Anyway, many thanks to the following:-

• Dave Riches for Planning
• Allen Banister for Controlling
• Marion Archer as SI Manager
• Peter Archer as my Co-Organiser
• Becky King for learning the Planning and Organising jobs by helping to do them
• Paul Taylor for updating the map and organising the printing
• Joan Selby for negotiating those very necessary access permissions from the landowner
• Barry Harrison for supervising the parking
• Simon Schmuck, Tracey Lyon and Becky King for overseeing the Start
• Andy Brook for being willing to help me to bring the Start equipment back in
• Dave Riches, Allen Banister, Charles Mayes and Alastair Mackenzie for bringing the controls in
