DFOK Summer Evening Events 2 – Bostall Heath and Woods – Weds 19 August 2009-08-20

This was the second in the series of 4 with another excellent turnout – I am always impressed by those who turn up by bike or train – if only I had the same motivation now I run (jog) M70!! But thank you.

Bostall runnability in places offers a little more route choice and some were caught out at some surprising controls – e.g. control 9 (long) and 8/15. I was surprised at those runners on the long course who went the direct route to No 8 – I had to turn around when surveying the control sites in that area!

Most runners enjoyed the courses though, on reflection, I could have made the Short course a little easier – will do better at Shooters for the last event.

Thanks to Andrew and Philip for bringing in most of the controls and I can confirm that the ones I brought in this morning (Thurs) were still in situ. Thanks, again, to Carol for helping to put out controls and do the entries and timing for the evening.

Next week sees us just over the hill in Lesnes Abbey Woods – final details below.
