Event Report
On a day the weather forecasters promised us torrential downpours the sun shone all day.
17 Orienteers, Novices and hardened Mountain bikers ventured out onto the Common and across to the Moor. The sun shone on them, the sandy Common absorbed the previous days rain (and probably didn't do much good to our mechs) and those who visited control 25 on the cliff top had views to die for. The recent rain had made the river crossing very interesting with a rough 50/50 split as to those who manned up and those who wimped out and used the footbridge further downstream.
Competitors had the choice from the start to either head East up onto the very steep plateau and clifftops of Mutters Moor and Peak hill, or head West for the gentler slopes of Woodbury Common.
In the Solo category Ifor Powell ran away with the trophy with a maximum score and 4 minutes to spare. Ever consistant Janet Burroughes & Matt Jepson grabbed the Pairs trophy, and Grey Grierson, on his first MBO score took the Youths trophy.
Thanks to everyone for coming, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did planning, and we hope to meet up with you all again at the next SW League event on 23rd Oct on South Dartmoor.
