CompassSport Cup and Trophy, 18th Feb 2024, qualifying heat

It may have been a bit damp underfoot, but we had a super day for running in Gilling Woods. And thanks to Coney Hill Farm for providing facilities and catering.

Individual results are here, team scores at link below.

Organiser Comments

Firstly a thank you to everyone who attended on Sunday for being understanding of the parking situation. It wasn’t ideal but you were all patient and well prepared for it. I hope you’ll all agree that once you got to the event area itself we had put on a good day and the weather couldn’t have been better. The large number of compliments we’ve received on behalf of the event team has been much appreciated. A key to the day going smoothly was yourselves of course – orienteers just know what to do and, if you come across a problem, you’ll sort it or work round it. You’re understanding that not everything can be perfect and that we are all volunteers; you will have been in a similar position at some point in the past or future. I’m sure our workload and hassle will have been much greater if the event was for 300 random members of the public!

Major thanks are due to Emma McAnaw for planning great courses (and getting the controls out and back in) and to Charlie Adams for controlling and putting in such a long day on Sunday.

The vast experience of the event team (SI, parking, start, enquiries, control collecting, general help) made things run so smoothly and their efforts are greatly appreciated by all. I have to say I felt sorry for Bryan and Ian who undertook the lonely parking duty at the far end of the lane.

Thank you to the jury for being available in the event of a race complaint, I was pleased we didn’t need you!

Howard Galtrey of Coney Hill Farm was our helpful host and we look forward to working with him again on future events.

Wendy Carlyle took some photos on the day and we are most grateful to her for allowing the link to them, which is elsewhere on our results page.

There are some lost and founds (contact eborpermissions@hotmail.com about these):

Found: Red Monkey Water Bottle and red metal whistle

Lost: Tesla car key card (looks like a black credit card with the faded name Tesla on it)

This is a closed event. All entries will require to be made by club team organisers via spreadsheet which will be provided by the event organisers. Team’s competitor listings will need to be returned by Feb 11th. Late amends will be accepted.
There will be Yellow and White courses for non competitive juniors and adults. These courses are EOD, but if there is any known requirement for these courses then it would be helpful if they were advised ahead of the day, preferably with the competitive team listing.

The farmer that owns the field will provide a catering service for hot drinks, cakes etc.

Parking

Please see Final Details. The assembly field is unlikely to be available for many vehicles due to the heavy rain in the past few weeks and anticipated this coming week,. Alternative parking is detailed in the Final details (see link above). We would recommend maximum car sharing to avoid over use of areas of the field. Please follow directions of marshalls on arrival.

Terrain

Area and assembly as used in the White Rose 2022. The area is looking good – lots of bracken down over winter means some really nice runnable forest.

Please note the following:
1. There are no taped routes, please ignore any taped routes you see in the area as these are for new bike paths.
2. Please be aware of mountain bikes, especially on the small mountain bike paths, and other area users (dog walkers, horses, cyclists) generally.
3. Some new, and old/less distinct mountain bike paths are not mapped. In general, the well established mountain bike trails are well mapped and denoted on the map with purple and black dashed ‘small path’ lines.
4. Please do not enter the deep pits. All pit controls will be at the top on the edge of the pit. These are dangerous and many are of historical interest.
5. Courses 1 to 3 pass an area commonly used by walkers for parking – please be aware of traffic and turning cars in this area.
6. It is NOT permitted to run on the road.
