Control Descriptions for Vets

[Spookster]

One of the boulders is so big that the "World's Toughest Night-O" they had there a few years ago had 4 controls on it. None of them were visible from the other.

Ah, that boulder. Yep, it's huge. It was controls 159, 160 and 161 on this course.

Some of the boulders on Mount Kooyora, Australia are house sized and one gigantic hill mapped as crags could be a boulder.

In Czech there was one rock vertical on all sides - (therefore a boulder?) - about 100m high and with a restaurant on top (steps cut all the way up inside). My course ran right past it.

Is this perhaps an eroded remnant that is integral with underlying rock strata, and therefore technically not a boulder. The geological definition of a boulder is a large rock fragment formed by detachment from its parent consolidated rock by weathering and erosion, i.e., freestanding; something that could be moved by pushing on it if you were infinitely strong. The rock pillar symbol is available if considered more appropriate.

(I've got to do something to defend my puny 8m high French boulder, haven't I?)

Definitely a waste of ink to only use a control circle once. see 7 8 9 here...

I never saw such slow mins/km times...
(3 flags, none accessible from the wrong side)

Did you actually punch the same control three times or were there 3 flags?

Read the descriptions Andy there's an uncrossable wall between each one. Great idea for a fun event.
