Planner's Comments

Wimpole Park is an interesting place to run, judging by the number of people who turn out every Saturday morning for the parkrun, but it is a little too easy for orienteering in the daytime so holding a night event in the park looked looked like more of a challenge.
There are necessary constraints of holding an event at Wimpole, and these include the agreement with The National Trust that fences should only be crossed via the gates and not climbed. Whilst there are fewer fences criss-crossing the park than there used to be there are still enough to impose a planning constraint, The other constraint was the path renovation in the woodland belts that the Trust had planned, this meant keeping the courses to the open areas.
Having the start and finish at the Arrington Gate meant that the courses were different to others we have had at Wimpole which have all been from the Stable Block on the east side. The three longest courses were able to visit the whole park including visiting the recently renovated folly in the north.
Thanks must go to Helen Hague for gaining permission from and liaising with The National Trust and for securing the use of Arrington Village Hall. Thanks also to Rakesh Chandraker for the organisation pre-event and to Caroline Louth for organising on the day and also to those who provided refreshments, baked cakes and so on.
Some of the more stressful aspects of planning were made easier by (a) Bruce Marshall's excellent map and the updates to the map he was able to do, (b) the efficiency of the printing company who delivered the maps over a week before the event, (c) being able to put out the controls in daylight and (d) having Johnny Pye and James Haynes volunteer to help collect controls.
Thank you also to Mike Edwards for controlling the event, for his suggestions on the yellow course, for helping set up and take down the start/finish on the day and for staying till almost everyone else had left so that we could get all the controls in.
