Anderwood BBQ Results

By Sam Massey , 29 July, 2009

Apologies for the lateness of posting the results. Our new website should enable faster results to be obtainable, as event organisers can upload the results once finalised without having to poke Steve to do the job. My excuse is that its taken a couple of weeks to catch up with Peter Smith since arriving back from the French 3-days (which was superb, more in another post).

Many thanks to Peter for taking on responsibility to finish running the event, awarding prizes and collecting controls. Thanks also to Simon Whipple and Roderick Johnstone for helping with the control collecting - it makes it a much faster job to share the load.

Congratulations to Tamsin Moran who won the event with a maximum score of 200, there were then 5 competitors on 180 points with the faster times giving Colin Hicks 2nd place and an excellent 3rd place to Jamie Morgan. Kevin Bracher and Dave Currie were the two that missed out, with 17 secs costing Dave a time penalty and 2nd place. It does seem as if a number of SOC members could do with a new watch as over 50% were late back! ;-) Roger and Tim Morgan particularly enjoying an extended stay in the forest!

I tried to plan the event to cater for all levels of Orienteers with some easier controls nearer the start/finish. I tried to ensure the legs were thought provoking with some safe/risky route choices. I also wanted people to make decisions early on in their run as to which controls they would ignore, to facilitate a better overall route to maximise their score. If you had a handicap of 3 (or more), losing controls 2, 5 and 11 would drastically shorten your route

SOC doesn't win the Furrow Hoppers Trophy

By Sam Massey , 26 July, 2009

...thats about all we know. I don't suspect we were last either, but until the results appear on the Wimborne site, we'll pretend we were 4th (they announced the top 3 on the day). 2 cross-country/urban, 1 urban and 1 cross country/urban map memory courses had to be run 3 times each by teams of 5 people. 

The team (as organised by Simon Whipple) was:

Simon Whipple, Matthew Whipple, Paul Whipple, Philip Eeles, Sam Massey

It was all quite frenetic as 4 of us took off for first leg in different directions, leaving Paul to run leg 2 of the same course as the first person back. That proved to be Matthew after a whirlwind 10min leg, I then arrived, gave my course to Matt and had a 2 min breather before Philip was back. After running that leg, I arrived back at the changover expecting a rest, but there was a map waiting, so it was straight back out.

Unfortunately for Paul, it worked out that he had to run the 3rd leg of the map-memory, which although took in a very picturesque reach of the river Stour; the memory test wasnt on Pauls sunday morning wish list (nor mine for that matter). I think we completed the courses in around 48 mins (with no mispunches!) and I think everyone enjoyed running around the rather luxourious campus that the pupils at Bryanston school enjoy (I think they have a tennis court each!)

It'd be good to get some more SOC entrants next year (especially considering the overly generous age handicapping system in use!)
