Planners Report

Thanks to everyone for turning up on the day. With nearly 100 starters it makes the planning effort worthwhile. I thought that I should try and squeeze a Green out of the area and although it was hilly most seemed to have enjoyed the course and the route choice involved. The original planning in March used the complex open area to the west which would have made for rather better courses with less climb. However permission to use this area was not possible due to the lambing season being in full swing. Come back in the autumn and it might be possible. I felt that the Orange course suffer most because of the amount of climbing involved; so well done to all those who completed the course – had we been able to use the area to the West there would have been less climb – honest. Thanks also to Richard Beattie for controlling the event and making some useful suggestion which made the courses better.

A note about the locked gates on the day into the overflow car par. This was due to the Rangers forgetting to open the gates as requested. Richard finally managed to make contact some time after 1 pm by which time the Ranger was on the hill some 30 minutes from transport and that was parked near Bavelaw – hence the delay. I trust it did not affect your enjoyment of the courses on offer.

Thanks also to the willing helpers from ESOC who run the event so efficiently.

Controller/Organiser's Report

Bonaly tends to be quite a popular event so it was good to see this was no different with a total of 96 entries. It's particularly encouraging to see lots of first-time orienteers and I hope everyone enjoyed the event.

It was unfortunate that due to the lambing we weren't able to take advantage of the area of land to the west of the map. This could have offered some interesting legs and in fact Ben had made good use of this area on first draft courses so it was a shame its use was out of the question. Ben did a good job to provide not just 4 but 5 courses so there was a good range on offer and on the day each course had a healthy number of entries. Thanks to Sheila Strain and Katy Lessells for correcting the vandalised control (196) during their run. I hope this problem didn't cause many people to lose time. Apologies for the long walk to the event for those that had to park at the bottom of the hill due to the problem with the car park gate – I'll know to chase up the Rangers earlier next time. Finally, my thanks to the ESOC volunteers for their help in running this event.
