Event Report
Congratulation to all those that not only braved the icy roads but actually made it to Nether Wasdale on Sunday to start. The early starters had to contend with both icy roads, freezing light sleet and very cold weather.
It was great to see a good number of generation teams turn out. Definitely our MBO riders of the future with several 9 & 10 yr olds putting some adults to shame.
The map was a lesson in checking the value of the checkpoints before picking a route. All the 30pters were within 4km of the start giving a total of 270 even if you just got those.
Those who went round the western end of Muncaster paid the price with tired legs and risked losing all the points.
Andy Williamson proved the thinking man’s winner by effectively hoovering up the plum points. Pete and Bob paid the price of going round Muncaster in the same time as Andy W but with 10 points less.
Thanks must go to my Co-conspirator Sarah who helped in all matters, route setting, checking locations, map preparation, CP distribution & collection.
Some people struggled to find a couple of checkpoints but having put them all out and brought each other’s in I can assure people they were where they were marked. Apologies for CP 27 described as ‘gate in wall’ which was actually a ‘gate in fence’. Minor point & we gave you the points.
All Cp’s were recovered with no loses, no injuries and I think everyone enjoyed it. Me & Sarah did anyway!
See you all next year. Ade
