Planner and Coordinator Comments
I decided in early February to add a ‘bonus’ final night-O to the series as it seemed like there was sufficient demand from the community. Thank you for coming to support it.
On my first visit to the Common I was encouraged to find that only minor map corrections would be required. A few paths were added while others that had become overgrown were removed. In hindsight I should have also removed the minor path leading north into 203 as this had essentially disappeared, even if there was a way through the vegetation.
For the Long it took some trial and error to come up with a course with 4 variations that was close to 5km. The two western forks were designed so that runners would cross paths with each other, while not seeing controls on the other fork. The short course did not have variations. I hoped that the interplay with the Long would create a degree of confusion.
Huge thank you to the Planners of the series – Colin, Oliver, James and Todd – Gordon for coordinating the kit and SI, and all those who helped on the night at any event.
Look forward to seeing you again in the Autumn.
