DVO (road) bike O, 10th June 2001.
Thanks to all who came, as organiser the numbers were ideal, enough for an event but not too many to swamp the car park etc. I would also like to thank James Allen for drawing the map for a unique (to me anyway) event.
The map seemed to work reasonably well although it could have done with a few more contours, I was keen to keep it no bigger than A4 hence the 1:100 000 scale. I had little idea as to how far people would get within the time allowed so I did try to cover a lot of ground. All of the controls were visited by at least one person but no one got them all, this was as I had hoped. There also seemed to be little consensus as to the best route although those who did best tended to concentrate on the 30 and 40 pointers and ignored the 50 points near Hartington. The penalty points for late arrival were harsh but I wanted my dinner, The Bear being at the top of the hill was also tough.
There were two problems with the control questions number 32 asking for a blue hydrant, only a yellow one could be found, I think the grass has grown a lot. Number 23 at the High Peak/ road junction could be only seen from the road, accessing from the trail involved a steep climb down the embankment. I planned by car and didn't anticipate this.
