I hope everyone enjoyed what may prove to be their first and last opportunity to orienteer in November. The weather was certainly kinder to us than the forecast had led me to believe it would be. My thanks go to Colin for handling permissions and providing initial input on the area, and to Colin, Christine, and the anonymous team from WSX, for control hanging and collecting.

My apologies go to those who ran the blue course in the morning and wasted time looking for #12.  Given a short timeline, the courses were armchair planned with only a single visit to the area to check and tape control sites. Short of alternative control sites, I had convinced myself that the vegetation no longer reflected the map but the control was correctly placed relative to the approach from the east. As those who approached from the south discovered, I had failed to penetrate the green far enough and the control was relocated some 25m further west for the afternoon.
