Thankyou to all who were able to come to enjoy a helping of the brown spaghetti which
seems to be such a rare dish on East Anglian menus. With fifteen out on a warm evening,
many of whom made it to the adjacent Fox & Hounds afterwards, efforts to update a map
which seemed to have been rather left behind by a rapidly eroding area seemed worthwhile.
The 1:1000 scale and hectic pace caught some out to start with, as did the 2.5m contours
which perhaps made the hills look less steep than they were in reality - 0.5m contours
might have been more in proportion. John's storming finish was enough to pip our resident
adventure racer, with Madeleine coming home the fastest lady. Hazel visited the 15
controls identified as the short course - plus one more for luck.
Thanks also to Harlton Parish Council for permission to use the Pit.
