Controllers Comments: What a great day
it was with the weather just right for orienteering. Mike Furlongs courses were
very good indeed and made the very best use of the areas interesting parts,
especially down in the SW corner. There were many changes from wooded to open
and sufficient features to give plenty of interest. Some of those gullies are
maneaters! Winning times were fast particularly on the longer courses in spite
of the roughness of the area. The open wastes of the tank tracked areas were
in fact relatively dry. The organisation seemed to flow well and the Wimborne
'regulars' coped well with, to them, the unfamiliar use of EMIT. The planner
and the controller were definitely in favour of EMIT for their functions with
the simplified 'putting out' system. So, a thank you to WIM and BAOC for their
efforts on the day, and of course to WSX and BAOC for the previous day's night
event.
