Event Report
Despite Network Rails best efforts, the very first event of the new Midlands MBO took place and, surprising given the forecast, in dry conditions. I believe a good time was had by all. My only regret is not having had time to explain the rudiments of the sport to the two or three teams of first timers - I hope this didn't put you off.
I used a 1:50000 map with the view to setting the scene for the following league events which invariably use this scale. This meant that all controls had to be on major fire roads, roads or bridleways given that all the lesser tracks, so common and plentiful on Cannock Chase, are not shown on the map. This did not seem to make the event too easy for the more experienced competitors which had been my fear.
The top three overall were relatively close together and I congratulate Killian, Ivor and Ian on there splendid performances. There were many more excellent performances and it is hoped that everyone will take part in as many rounds of the Midlands Series as possible to perfect there skills. Cheers Dave
