2013: LOK Park Race Series

Grovelands Park – 6th June 2013

Twice as many participants (86) as our last visit to Grovelands in 2011 … thank you for making it worthwhile for Martin Hime to plan his first course.

Sorry the chef had had a tiff or whatever in the pub, so no food.

Middlesex. Uni Campus – 19th June 2013

We have Don McKerrow (SLOW) to thank for mapping this small but beautifully sprintable campus last year, and for BOF passing on the map … and Jon Chandler planning his first Sprint event.  For those who haven’t run a sprint O before, we trust you discovered the need to keep an eye on which control you’re heading for next (and check its code) as 10% missed controls, including some of our most experienced orienteers …… so a real tortoise and hare race!

Hampstead Heath West – 1st August 2013

Nightmare event …. hardware won’t work, 10 people more than maps printed, ran out of hire dibbers and one control stolen … and I still can’t get the software to talk to the upload/download boxes ….. but I do have some results for you … with the following caveats:

  • I only have start and finish times … so no idea if you did Long or Short … email me if on Short, otherwise we’ll assume Long (unless you look ‘too fast’!)
  • I can’t tell if you missed any controls … email if you know you missed one (it’s called being honest!)
  • sorry to the six at foot of table … I can’t find any finish time … maybe you didn’t ‘clear’ before you started and your dibber ran out of space?

On the positives … I did say it would be the most challenging Park Race event of the series … with fastest of 31 min, a median of 1 hour, and longest at 2 hrs 3 min, I think I was right!  Sounds like you enjoyed a little bit of extra navigational challenge for a mid-week event …. next time you run here will be on a new map, drawn from scratch!

If you want to fill in any spaces in the results, eg if you did Short or name is missing, email Neil with details.
