Poole Park Informal Saturday 19^th March 2005

Organisers Comments

The day started in thick mist which added a certain something to the navigation. The mist slowly rose through the morning ending with a pleasant sunny day at midday. I planned courses around and outside the park which were navigationally simple and a bit lacking in route choice due to the constraints of the many lakes. The area does, however, offer a pleasant training run and an opportunity for newcomers to try out the sport. We managed to give out three leaflets to interested passers-by who did not have time to try out a course. The Evening Echo article raised one person who turned up and another who phoned but never arrived.

Thanks are due to Bill Brown who produced a set of bagged pre-printed maps for this event, a great luxury and my wife Wendy who helped me run the event.
