Quantock Orienteers After Dark - 13 November 2010

Great event tonight near Bridgewater. 60 min score event on a small area.  Two colour of controls Red and Blue, you can start on either colour, once you change colour you can't go back.  A little slow to start with as start triangle printed in the wrong place but once I got going it was really enjoyable.  Decided to make the change between the two 50 pointers which seemed to workout OK.  Missed a path with 10 mins to go so headed cross country pop out on the path who knows where 8 mins to go, decide to climb the hill hope to either hit the crag straight on or hit the earth wall and decide left or right!!  Someone was looking down on me and hit the crag dead on.  Headed back down the track for a nice easy run in with 3 minutes to spare.  Great event with a great concept I'll be back for more.

It wasnt the Start triangle printed in the wrong place, just the tent/start/finish punches erected in the wrong place!!! If a job is worth doing....
Glad the trip was worth while.
That was the worst of the areas in the series out the way, some nice open runnable flat areas to follow.
Missed you in the pub afterwards, very unlike you!!
Thanks for your help collecting controls, much appreciated.
See you soon.
