Planner's Comments

I enjoyed planning on this areas which I didn't know very well and which we hadn't used for 8 or 9 years. Many thanks to Janet Biggs for the re-mapping work which was considerable, given that we didn't have an OCAD version of all of the map so had to start by tracing it in.

For those who ran the longer courses and enjoyed the railway line leg and views, I am glad the weather was so kind and perhaps you saw for miles (unless you were head-down in the map!).

Most comments I heard at the event suggested people enjoyed the courses and it was good to see several newcomers to the sport, who we hope had a good experience and will come back soon!

Many thanks to David Rosen for Controlling (including control collecting which is surely beyond the call of duty), and to Pete Sacares, Miriam Rosen and Ronan and Julie Cleary for control hanging / collecting.

Organiser's Comments

It was good to get another of London’s open spaces back into the orienteering calendar after such a long time, and we hope you enjoyed the lovely late summer outing to all three spaces. 
As orienteering here was new to the current incumbents responsible for overseeing these areas, it did involve having to convince one of them that that your feet were actually going to cause less damage than some of the locals. I shall be writing to them to see if they can tell where we have been, and will probably be using their replies the next time a landowner asks about the environmental impact.

To all the ‘independents’ that came along today, and you made up 33% of the total, we hope you enjoyed the orienteering. It was good to see so many youngsters, passer-bys and first-timers enjoying the day – for details of events, and they happen virtually every weekend, have a look at the fixtures list that covers all of London and the surrounding counties …. http://www.seoa.org.uk/
