Planner's comments:
Well that turned out to be a bit more challenging than intended. One of the problems with using urban areas is the ever-present possibility of vandalism. I had taken some care to ensure that for most controls there was some kind of attack point nearby. What a pity that some kind individuals took it upon themselves to remove/move some of the controls. Control 12 on the hour score was definitely removed. Purely fortuitously, I found it when collecting in on the road side of the fence, further up the hill. Likewise, for control 10 on the short, I found the stick a few yards away, but no sign at all of the 'kite' with the control code. Control 7 had been shifted a good few metres north of the gulley bend. I hate when these things happen, and an adjustment will be made to times for thise controls. Why do people do these things? All others were where intended, so no allowance for these, including no.6, which several of you failed to find.
Never mind, there's always the new mini-maze at Newburn to look forward to.
