On a cold and very foggy November night two teams, our
PLs and APLs, set off to navigate their way around a cross country course.
Both started and ended at the same point, but covered different routes.

The PLs made very good progress
to their first checkpoint and overtook the computer predicted timings
as they set off across open fields to CP2. However they
did then struggle on a very complex open field section to the third
checkpoint, especially when trying to find a river crossing.
They were back on track from here and caught up most of the lost time
to proudly find the end point at the trig point. |

The APLs made a strong start, but
were a little unsure of their grid references between checkpoint 1 and
2. However the quickly worked out what they had to do and
made speedy progress around the rest of the course. They
even beat the leaders to one of the checkpoints! They cam
walking in to the finish point beating the computer predicted end
time. |
