Firstup, thanks very much for the positive feedback everyone gave
back. Well done to everyone to choose a great night to be cruising round the hills.
Isn't it amazing how you think you know an area but can still find so
many new tracks...
Congratuations to James Bradshaw and Bryn Davies. They finished tied on points with Andy Foster and Angus Napier. Andy and Angus surprised me by managing to cruise through all the controls but lost 30 points due to a lateness penalty. So James and Bryn get the nod by finishing first.
I must apologise for the 54 and 55 stuff up... and 40 being on the wrong side of the track. I also forgot to mention about the bonus question at the start. It turns out that there are some steps known locally as the Birdwood St Steps running between Birdwood St and Messines Rd. Painted on these steps are an alphabet which starts at A and finishes at O (last letter in the Birdwood St alphabet.) So the rogaine was really out of 1260.
Hope everyone liked the semi-cryptic clues. If you want more, do one of Bruce McLeod's Epics - trying to figure out some of those clues makes your brain hurt....
Seeya in the hills, Greg.
