Thank you all for coming to Ashclyst on what looked like a very wet day at 7.30 am when we arrived!  The weather was very kind and dried up at just the right time. I was very grateful to the Scouts for helping at Registration, the Start and collecting the controls.  They are an asset to the club and hope that they were not put off by helping. I did not book a toilet because I was worried about getting it up the lane to Assembly and by potential misuse by the public.  In the event I think I made the correct decision as the wind was very strong on the Saturday and I doubt whether a toilet would have remained upright and useable.

My thanks to Nick for the planning.  Very few problems arose in the checking of the sites.  The vegetation has changed considerably since the map was drawn and, at this time of year, undergrowth is a problem in what are mapped as runnable areas.  Some 'major' paths are blocked by holly and fallen trees.  Conversely some of the 'light green' has now progressed to being fairly 'go-able' - possibly these aspects of  the map should be updated soon.

Planner’s Comments

After the torrential rain of the Ashclyst event last March, I thought July would be a safe bet when agreeing to plan again. Wrong !!  The going underfoot was good until a few days before the event, but turned to a slow squelch. Although times for the top finishers were on target, and course lengths for Brown & Blue at least were at the low end of the guidelines, a number of competitors found the combination of mud and undergrowth to be tough going and were out on their courses for a long time. The more technical courses were planned to go off-path where possible but the large areas of fight meant this was possible on limited legs only. Thanks go to controller Roger Hateley for help in finalising the courses and to Roger & Susan for control checking and collecting. Also thanks to Roger Green for printing maps, raising pictorial descriptions and bagging.
