Controller’s Report
I hope the 200+ competitors who braved the weather forecast of cold wind and snow enjoyed their run in Dalmeny Estate. It is a nice area for a run at this time of the year with a bit of variety of terrain although it is not the most technically challenging. The estate put rather many restrictions on the use of the area, especially in relation to crossing fences, which makes the job of the planner more of a challenge. Mark Wood deserves great credit for the courses which he planned, which seemed to be much appreciated by those I spoke to at the finish. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and I am delighted that ESOC has another to add to the list of younger planners who will be a great asset to the club in the next few years.
The only problem we had was the mystery of control 116, luckily only on the blue course. This was moved 20m south from the SE edge of the N thicket to the E edge of the S thicket. The controls were put out on Friday as there was shooting on the estate on Saturday and this was the only site to be vandalised, although many other sites were much more visible. It is also not a part of the forest where one would expect members of the general public and we can only assume it may have been someone involved in the shoot the day before. Apologies to those early starters on the blue who were affected and many thanks to Walter Clark for bringing this to my attention. As a result I was able to move the control to the correct site around 12 noon.
Lastly many thanks to Janet and the super efficient ESOC team of helpers for the usual very high standard of organisation.
