Deffer Woods District Event

Controller’s comments

Things must have gone well at this event because no-one sought me out to complain - probably a first!. Seriously though Emma came up with a set of really good courses - tough with plenty of climb and route choice but fair. My only real input was to suggest a move of the start from the narrow path you all walked along to where it ended up. The original was too narrow and would have adversly affected slower and faster runners. Unfortunately it meant you all had a long climb straight away.

Feedback on the day and subsequently showed that everyone had really enjoyed the courses and by course closing time everyone was checked back in and the controls had been collected.

Apart from the fences that appeared at the last minute, it was a bit alarming to encounter a group of about 20 campers deep in the woods but on a direct leg on Blue late on Saturday evening. They caused us no trouble and I hope you ran past their tents quietly so they could have a lie-in.
