Chipperfield Common Try-O Event Results 12/09/99Comments from the Planner and Organiser. Planner's CommentsPlanning the Try-O event on Chipperfield Common should have been straightforward. The area although relatively small is flat and well bounded by roads and fences to prevent those new to orienteering getting too far away from where they ought to be. The original courses were planned on paper, using memories from previous events at Chipperfield. The first site visit came as a shock! The entire western end had been felled and the branches left on the ground. In places these were throat high, making the area absolutely impenetrable. If this was not enough, several large holes being partially covered by bushes had appeared in the area to the west of the southern lake, a real danger to the unwary. As a result the courses had to be substantially redesigned to avoid both areas. I hope the results were that you enjoyed them and that the early runners on the Green and Orange courses were not too put out by the mysterious disappearance of Control 750 at the start of their runs. I am grateful to Lesley for her ever-willing assistance in running around the area and those HH members who put out and collected the controls on the day, making my job so easy. Eric Brown. Organiser's CommentsThanks to Eric for all his hard work which extended well into organiser’s territory and included bringing all the equipment to the event. Thanks to all the willing volunteers. I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves and that you will come along to some more of our events. Congratulations to all on successfully getting round! Carol Whitworth.
