Comments
It's been great working
with Dave & Sal. They are machines in terms of planning and organising
races for DVO. I think they have organised a wonderful event on a wonderful
area. OK - lots of comments in the runnability of the area. I too struggled
over the weekend.
This
event has taken 2-3 years for me to control! I initially was down for
controlling Lindop Woods but then I had a knee operation so I moved off that
event for this event. Then this event was delayed 13 months as the event on
Eyam stole Birchen's date.
I had 2
main issues with the courses. One was the finish. The main issue here was the
shorter courses followed the main track down the hill. However, this site was
convenient for the longer courses and there was no other solution if you are
finished on this side of the area. On the day this proved not to be an issue.
My
other concern was the orange course. I don't think Dave or I were happy with
the final course. This ended up as a compromise! Dave was unhappy with the
tussocks that juniors had to take in the northern part of the course. The final
course was a dampened down course. The times on the whole were long and this
course seemed to have the most DNFs.
So well
done DVO and thanks to Rich Parkin for updating the map.

Planner’s Comments
We’ve been anxiously
weather watching for weeks, and in the end, parking conditions were just about
ok! A huge thanks to Stuart Swalwell and Malcolm Spencer for laying the
matting to get you into Assembly. And to Alimats of Ashbourne for the loan of
the yellow mats. Thank you also to the many DVO helpers, not all of whom
managed a run.
We too
have enjoyed working with Mark to put on an event on the challenging and lovely
terrain that Birchen offers. Many thanks for your help and guidance!
