Firstly some thanks are due to Simon Elliott for printing the maps, Tony & Margaret Buckland, Catherine Hughes & Mick Lucking for their help on the day. Also to Mick, Michael Lord & Peter Hodkinson for collecting in all the controls at the end of the event. Also to anyone who said thanks and that they had enjoyed the courses. A pat on the back is always appreciated as planning these events takes plenty of time & effort. Rufford is a more challenging area than a cursory glance at the map might suggest. The density of vegetation, multiplicity of small and indistict paths and general lack of contours removes a few of the 'handrails' we might otherwise use to navigate. Having put together a reasonably challenging orange course, the technical loop was designed to encourage competitors to run straight and had plenty of changes in direction to maintain interest.
