Bow Street-O Race

The first SLOW street orienteering event of the 2009-10 series was held in Bow on Tuesday 8 September. 35 people made the trip out east on one of the hottest evenings of the year. Control 40, for those that didn't see it, was in front of the rapidly emerging Olympic Stadium.

Inevitably, some answers disagreed with my own. Everyone gave a different code than expected for the Well Street Common fire hydrant sign (No. 7) so I have to conclude I was wrong! However there were plenty of wrong answers for no. 34. Walnut House was on the other side of the road to the dot, and further east, and Gate House was too close to the bridge. The most popular controls were the Cyprus Street memorial (No. 26), the Existence sculpture (No. 35) and the Palm Tree pub (No. 31). No. 8 was the least popular one.

Many thanks to Andrew McMillan for scoring the results and James and Charles for checking.
