VENTNOR DOWN

Sunday 21st March 2010

Report

 

 

This was my second time planning an event on Ventnor Downs.  The previous time I used the steep area south of the Radar Station, but as this did not prove very popular with runners, I decided to avoid it this time and use more of the area in the north east of the map.

 

I have always thought that the complex area at the western edge of the map is quite interesting so having copied the map at twice the scale, I spoke with Peter to see if he could incorporate this area Œblown up¹ and insert in on the main map.  This he managed to do and I think it works very well.

 

Fortunately Sunday was a much better day than Saturday when I put out some of the controls (horizontal rain and visibility of 10 metres!) and after a slow start at least all the courses had entrants.

 

I would like to thank Sue, Glynn, Dean, Tony, Sean and Jane for helping to collect the controls.  Also Peter for his help with the map.
