Planners' Comments
This is where we’re supposed to say what unadulterated pleasure the planning was. Well, it’s a fine area for Sprint O and John Faller’s accurate mapping certainly eased the task, but all was not entirely straightforward.
We live across the road from Surrenden Campus but neither of us knew the intricacies of the school buildings, so it was good to have a legitimate snoop around.
However, our early June holiday made for a short timescale and most of the planning was done on the weekend before the event, during which elements of the land permission fell apart! (The four schools on site had not been communicating effectively.) A chance meeting with the Site Supervisor of Varndean College on the Friday evening revealed that he knew nothing of the orienteering and football pitches had been hired out. This was overcome by planning the courses around the playing areas. But by Monday night we had also lost access to the front of the college. Hasty amendments to the courses avoided this area, keeping runners to the rear of the main building. Apologies, therefore, for the many taped routes on white and yellow, also for the oversight on the modified sprint which resulted in a few people being confronted by a locked gate - we hadn’t thought of that route choice. Many thanks are due to Rob Lines whose phone calls resolved the access issue and enabled the event to go ahead.
On the subject of locked gates, these ruled out use of the school buildings at the eastern side of the map, which was a pity.
Now to the courses: white and yellow caused some anxiety as they are normally planned entirely on paths. There is no path network on Surrenden Campus but many distinct earthbanks, a feature with which these competitors are now very familiar! Orange was the easiest course to plan as the technical difficulty of the area seemed well suited. Sprint brought in an element of street O. Hopefully the mix had you running hard across the fields and concentrating amongst the buildings.
Thanks are due especially to Rob Lines, Series Organiser, for much help and support, also to Clare L, Ali Weller, John Faller, Barry Jones, Steve Ewens, Ed Cox and John Walton for help on the day. It’s amazing how many people are needed for smooth running of an event. The positive comments from runners were also appreciated.
