Was really great to get over 20 people - WAOC Galoppens must be getting famous as we had
one competitor from near London!
I hope people enjoyed the extra challenge of the pairs and the open orienteering map
format. After some deliberation I decided to rule out all incorrect answers. The results
seem to indicate that strategy was just as important as speed, with some runners having
more to show for fewer controls, whilst others suffered with time penalties and non
scoring controls.
I had aimed to get people to all corners of the map and all controls were visited at
least once, with a slight bias towards heading south and westwards.
Finally, thanks to Jean for helping at the start.
Please note: the next Galoppen will be on Coldhams Common on Wednesday 11 August.
