Wimbledon
Common – Mobile-O
Results
17 July 2007
Well you all seemed to be still talking to each other at the end, only just in
some cases. This is the first time we've attempted a Mobile-O and judging
by comments, it was good fun. It was hilarious watching and
listening to the 'control freaks' providing the instruction to the
'runners'.
The format was that one
'runner' just had a mobile and a compass and was instructed by the 'navigator' aka 'control freak', who stayed at base with the map with
the course marked on and of course a mobile. Pairs then swapped over and
runner 2 ran a different, parallel course.
Fastest individual time
was 13.01 run by Ed, navigated by Sarah (who had actually already run the
course as she ran both courses). Andy had put out some of the controls
(not all) so probably should be n/c. Congrats especially to our novice
team, one of whom had not seen an orienteering map before! I think the
hot tips given were crucial: frequent communication; use major tracks,
not minor paths; use vegetation, especially open areas; use the compass.
I only heard of two breakdowns in mobile transmission.
Both courses were 2.4k
long.
If you want to know more
about Mobile-O look at the website of its creator: http://mobile-o.freeweb.hu/index_en.html
A good time was had by
all; thank you for coming.
