Participants in the East Midlands League event at Wellow on the 9th of November encountered courses under a blanket of golden leaves.
On top of that, Planner Richard Robinson made good use of the contours available to create courses that provided a full-on technical difficulty 5 work-out for the experienced orienteers taking part!
There were many good NOC performances with Hilary Palmer finishing first on the Short Green course, closely followed by Jane Booker and Richard Beadle. John Palmer finished 3rd on the Very Short Green and Tim Booker came home 4th on the Blue course.
NOC members also topped the results on the Orange course (Sophie Peet – 1st ) as well as the Yellow course (Elodie Booker – 1st and Lily Robinson – 2nd).
RouteGadget is now available for this event so do take a look at the various courses that were encountered; great examples of well planned courses designed to challenge the skills of keen orienteers.
Thanks go to Richard Robinson for planning, Mick Lucking for controlling and Pat Squire for organising the event. Thanks also goes to those who provided the new map, obtained the various permissions and all those who helped-out on the day.
The next NOC event will be the pre-Christmas one at Strawberry Hill near Mansfield.
