There were several retirees on all courses except White
Times were longer than I’d expected although I had warned of the tough nature of “Long”. I was surprised by the difficulty many runners had in locating some controls; it may have been a mistake to bag the maps as this seemed to camouflage some of the detail. The rain made the steeper banks very slippy (I had fun negotiating them with armfuls of kites when collecting them in) & the undergrowth was much more advanced than it had been 3 weeks earlier. I expect that the next courses planned here will be earlier in the year, shorter, with less climb & on the whole with easier controls. The number of retirals proves I didn’t get it entirely right but we live & learn. Thanks go to Peter Gorvett for collecting half the controls in; I only had 4 to collect today. Colin Drury

Venue

Not to be confused with Forge Dam or Matlock in Derbyshire, this area is between Stannington and Loxley.

It is a small area of woodland on the slope running down to the River Loxley. The slope steepens to crags at the top, but courses will normally stay below the steeper areas. Old industrial workings add to the natural contour features.
