Event Report
For the first time mountain bike orienteering has come to the NE end of the Chilterns. The area to the NE of Luton did not sound like a suitable area but all the 47 entries were amazed to find a fine network of well maintained bridleways on which all 30 controls were placed. Unfortunately heavy rains overnight did cause 2 controls to the east of the start to be very muddy. After that the hard packed gravel tracks did mean some fast riding as long as you had the strong SW wind behind you and on such a clear day the views off the Chilterns were spectacular if you had time to look.//
////
//Ian Cartwright managed to win overall going to 27 of the controls one more than second place Mark Humprey. All down the results the scores were close and route choices very varied due to the maze of easy to navigate bridleways.//
////
//There was many discussion at the finish over the event and "if only" was mentioned a lot while refreshments were taken which raised £93 for the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance.//
////
//All the positive feedback after the event Michael Rackham and Ralph Dadswell do plan to come back to the area to run the "North Herts Navigator II" so look out for the date next Autumn on the BMBO and MMBO websites.
