Planners Comments
This was the first event that I had planned, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Wombwell is a beautiful and interesting wood with a wide variety of features. Planning the courses in the summer with the profusion of nettles, brambles and bracken was a bit daunting, but fortunately the growth had died down for the first day of autumn to make running possible. Some of the paths had become a bit indistinct, and with the way people have used the wood in recent times , there are some new paths emerging, making the course planning difficult in places. I have to thank both Phil and Arun for their help and advice with the event.

Wombwell is an interesting area for the planner as there are a number of restrictions that do not make it easy. The shape of the area means that the longer courses have to use the same paths out and back to cross the road (now overgrown as it is blocked off at either end) and also it is not easy to produce a White course within the guideline. This problem was exacerbated by the strong bracken growth this year, which made many of the paths indistinct. This was the first event that Charles had planned and I wanted to strike a balance between his original planned courses and limit the modifications. From the feedback I received at the finish I think most of you enjoyed the wood and Charles courses despite the tough undergrowth in some parts. We also had to move the first control in the gully on the Light Green course after reports of wasps being unfriendly to orienteers!!
The weather was kind to us given rain on the Saturday and Monday. Two controls were missing when we collected in the kites but these disappeared after the last competitors had visited them so they did not effect the competition.
Thanks to Arun and his team for making the event a success. I was aware that there were a few of you who wanted to punch at the finish but this was a traditional low key, low tech event!!!

Organisers Comments
After a long time away from orienteering it was fun to organise an event in an area that I knew little about. And many thanks to the willingness of SYO individuals who always make the task of organising a lot easier. I trust most of you enjoyed the day. Charles the planner and myself benefited from being under the watchful eye of Phil. My theme of the day was to complete the orienteering before the motorcyclists were out in force!! This we did ... just. The areas, especially near the car park, become a speed track by mid afternoon.
