I hope everyone enjoyed the event. My job was made considerably easier by using Groby Community College as a base, with a lovely large room to use for registration, download and for the presentation of the EM League prizes. Thanks to everyone from LEI (and a couple of DVO friends) who helped today at the event. Such a willing and reliable set of club mates takes a load off this Organiser's shoulders.

I hope you all enjoyed your run. As the saying goes ‘The courses were planned to avoid the worst of the brambles’, the main problem was getting between the groups of controls and avoiding the areas of brambles. The bramble areas had been updated, thank you to Don Moir for this and the other updates that he undertook on the map for me. I don’t think we have had that much rain lately but some of the paths were just like a quagmire. This included the path from the last control, which was common on all courses, to the finish this saw times vary from 22 seconds to 4 minutes 9 seconds. The conditions had not been so wet when I had been visiting the area over the winter. The slippery conditions led to two twisted ankles which were attended to by our club first aiders.
Thank you to Roger Edwards you his input as controller, it didn’t appear a positive step at the time when he decided to remove all the rootstocks from the map to avoid clutter, as I was using four of these as control sites. New sites were found and the courses adjusted.
I enjoy the planning visits out in the woods, noticing the wildlife but it is incredible what other sites you see. In the central area, I was amused to see two hammocks set up in the woods I just wish they had taken their litter home after their party. I also noticed for the first time when setting controls out on Sunday morning a camp had been established with a tree hut, stumps for stools, and even an England flag being used as a table cloth.
