On most courses, the 3rd control from the end was in a Scots pine forest with great visibility. This was followed by a swampy traverse to the penultimate control in a reentrant, and a climb through further swamp onto the track.
At the last control, runners had to make a U-turn into the Finish funnel. Here are Phil and Ann-Maire, doing just that.
After your run, maps go into a Club bag so you can’t discuss routes with other runners until all classes have finished. Here’s Andrew sorting them into class order. A fun day was had by all, less arduous than the Individual race high up in the hills in the hail, but still tricky. A huge thank you to South Wales Orienteering Club for a super day. Many legs and shoes were washed in the river on the way back to the car park!
