A big THANK YOU to all those genuine orienteers who turned up from clubs across the region to support this event and who are were not put off by the previous week's bad weather. The 110 entries were down on previous events due to the weather and it being Mother's Day but nevertheless good feedback on the day from a number of runners who specially commended us for not cancelling. Fortunately for us the weather forecast for Sunday of cold and dry conditions actually turned out to be correct and much of the previous day's snow had melted by the time the first runners started. Also thanks to our core of regular and enthusiastic club helpers who need little supervision so that the event went smoothly and with no problems to trouble the organiser. I particularly would like to single out the efforts Goff Hill (Planner), Clive Coles (Controller), Bill McClean (revised map) and Paul Lowe (our SI expert) - all made a major contribution to the success of this event. Finally thanks to Jim Smith, the Rendlesham Forest Ranger who is most supportive of our events and who is so keen to build up good relationships with those who wish to use the forests for leisure activities. |

Daisy's Woods is a lovely area with lots of interesting navigational detail and its great to run around, especially on crisp snowy days. But it does set a few constraints for a planner. The area is very small to plan a brown course on and, at the other end of the scale, the path network doesn't make it easy to plan a white course. Add to that the fact that a river and extensive marsh cut the area in two in one direction and the only suitable car park cuts through in the other direction, and you start to see a few restrictions. Perhaps the most obvious compromise was the start area, which was a slightly awkward layout. But it allowed the more technical courses to have a technical first control and the white and yellow to get quickly onto a path (and so meet the BOF guidelines). So I hope you all managed to get away ok I am very indebted to Clive who made many helpful suggestions to help get around the various problems and to Mac who prepared a very much improved map of the area. I would also like to thank all those who helped collect in controls after the event and enabled me to get home at a reasonable time. I hope you enjoyed the courses. |

First of all thank you for turning up to orienteer in the snow. It may have been cold but we were so fortunate that we were able to compete in fine blizzard free conditions. There had been times during the last week when your event team began to wonder if the event would need to be cancelled. Were we being irresponsible by going ahead when earlier in the week the emergency services were asking us to only travel when necessary ? Would we be able to park on the Fire route as planned ? Would the course be safe if the conditions were icy ? Could the event officials even get out into the Forest to set up the courses and have them ready for starters by the published starting time ? To cancel the event would however have been a great disappointment to many, especially for the SUFFOC club officials who had striven to make the event happen. The forecast for the weekend looked more promising so we decided to get ahead of ourselves by setting up the courses on the Saturday ~ always a risk in cold weather as control sites can be vandalised and the SI boxes may not power on at the appointed hour. We arrived on site in driving snow but mindful that the forecast suggested that the weather would clear up in the afternoon. By mid afternoon the controls were out in the forest and kite placements had been 'controlled'. In the event one site (108) was trashed overnight (all parts were found and swiftly repatriated) and 2 SI boxes, 131 and 133, needed to be replaced as they had died. Goff is to be congratulated for setting some interesting courses on such a compact area. Technical orienteering in Rendlesham is not an option so Goff needed to set courses at the top end of the BOF guidelines so as to ensure you remained out on your run for a reasonable time. It required some ingenuity to contort a 9.4k Brown course when we were parked within the area ~ quite a triumph to find that that course was won in just 29 seconds under the hour. From comments overheard at the download tent, some of you appeared to find some tricky control placements. There were also discussions concerning route choice options. These are the sorts of discussion planners (and controllers) like to hear. It makes us feel we have set a fair challenge and made you think ahead. Bill (Mac) also produced an excellent new map for the competition. The surveying time frame was short, as the undergrowth just did not die back last autumn. I am sure you appreciated the clarity of the cartography. Rob, Paul (our SI system co-ordinator), and the remainder of the organisation team appeared to manage an 'incident' free event. Successful organisation often goes unnoticed. So, a big thank you to all our helpers - a great team effort. Hope to see you at our next event in the autumn. |
