Planners' Comments

It was great to see so many of you -- thanks for coming on such a gloomy day. Apologies for being a bit rushed, partly due to delays in getting the entry barrier opened.

You were, perhaps, the navigationally most competent attendance we've ever had. Of the three disqualifications, only the POTOC Chairman and mapper of the area made a navigational error (punching HARD #4 instead of the proper #15 -- both copses); familiarity breeds contempt!

Our numbers were swelled by members of NOC and DVO whose juniors came for coaching by our aspirant Level 2 Coaches. I hope you all enjoyed your visit to Hanley CFP and learnt something useful. Thank you to Hilary Palmer for organising this and to her helpers.
