Lauriston Castle, 19th Jul 2008
It was good to see so many of all ages participating. When we turned up in the morning to put out the controls it was raining stair-rods, but fortunately it dried up in time for the event itself.
I hope everyone enjoyed their courses. I realised on the day that it would have been better to have had more different white and yellow courses because a few people did one followed by the other, and must have got rather bored on the first half of the yellow. Also, the score course seemed a little short for fit orienteers, being won in a time of just under 20 minutes. Apologies if you came a long way for such a short run. Perhaps splitting the controls with a return to copy a second mastermap (as suggested by the controller) would have helped.
Lauriston Castle is certainly an idyllic area with its sea views and genteel atmosphere. It was nice to see such a well used park with croquet being played, tours of the castle and craft classes in the glasshouse, and it was a pleasure to plan there.
