Organising a National Event is always a challenge, as the reputation of the club depends on how it goes. Longshaw is even more of a challenge because of the distances between the car parking and assembly and the estate itself.Controller
Staging a major event on such an exposed area in early December is always going to be a calculated gamble. As I had never been to Longshaw before this event, I decided to run around the area with the planner exactly 52 weeks before, to get a feeling for the vegetation. 2006 was a milder Autumn, so the bracken was still troublesome in some areas. With this year's wet summer the bracken in October was still well over head height, but some hard frosts and snow in November managed to make the area much more runnable than I had feared.Any queries, errors, or omissions should in the first instance be addressed to Michael Napier tel (0115) 928 9663, mobile 07771 660892,
