Paradise Farm Report and Results

Provisional results here, please check and make sure your score is correct. You can revise any missing controls using the HITMO function in MapRun (see FAQ page for details)

Thanks to John Dixon for planning a great course and to the various people who helped out on the day.

Here’s Johns report:

“Almost 50 riders turned up for a challenging ride in glorious sunshine. 

The trails were all dry but perhaps a bit more overgrown than when I first visited in April. 

I try to spread the controls so the better riders have to go the extra mile/km to mop up the smaller values. This may be reflected in the close spread of high scores, which, in the absence of some of those better riders, were quite modest, with no-one cracking 400. It may also be the fact that there was a lot of climbing to deal with!

Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the day, despite some tales of woe – punctures, getting lost, maprun not working, the usual carry on.

It was a busy day at High Paradise with a 70th Birthday party in progress, started on Friday afternoon and folk staying until Sunday, plus the regular visitors. Despite the workload HP looked after everyone with the usual good food and smiles. (Just remember, access is horse, bicycle or foot under normal circumstances).

Thanks to the helpers and to everyone who entered the event, see you at the next one?”

And the next event is the weekend at Kirkby Malzeard on July 19 & 20, entry on BMBO, details to follow.

Track from #21 to #29

    glad it all went well. I was up at High Paradise Farm in January for one of the Night Orienteering League events. I stayed there and both the room and welcome were great although the Medium course out on the moor was certainly over-hard for that level.

    I was most sorry to miss coming but it was HALO’s big weekend of events at Bridlington and was certainly kept busy helping and running myself.

    I will try and get to a Bike-O before the end of the League, honest,

    Best wishes,
