Re: Pembrokeshire Weekend 20/21 May 17
I think this is the most bizarre "Start" list I have ever seen! Is it American?

[quote="DJM" I'm guessing we should ignore the "Starttime" column completely and go by that labelled "Seeding" instead ...

Does it say anywhere what constitutes early, middle and late?

Start times issued, we're not all starting at 10 o'clock now. And the starts on Sunday there also. "Courses close when the tide comes in" is not actually stated but implied - should be interesting.
Looking forward to it.

Where are your torrential rain showers? Not sure I believe that was today, looks far too sunny (jealous Scottish champs competitor and helper who was wearing full waterproofs and an umbrella at the start)

Yep! The sun has shone here everyday since Wednesday lunch time although I think it may have rained last night.
Really enjoyed today - fab area and course and wonderful views from the top. (Quite glad most other people messed up the first control on the green - anyone else think the map was a bit iffy there?)
Where was the junior squad cake stall?
Anyway - all good.
Really looking forward to Tenby urban tomorrow. Just hope I haven't shot my bolt.

Didnt really think the map for the Green course at Mynydd Preseli was 'iffy', i just didnt see the start kite...
Sunny Tenby was really good with the start and finish on the beach

Two really enjoyable days, despite brikke failing to start until #1 on Saturday (the pre-start check was OK and the Start unit definitely flashed) and on Sunday a mis-reading of the "underpass" at the lifeboat station resulting in 7+ mins lost - and a swim !

KP - your are going to have to explain that last bit when I see you next.
Great atmosphere at Tenby and I liked the Emit touch free better than the SIAir.

A good weekend, helped by the weather on the Sat, It could have been bad and in Cumbria it was.
Two contrasting days, A lovely open interesting hillside on Sat and a nice town on Sun with a few tricky controls. Talking of which did anybody figure out what they were looking for in the park ? The map had a cross , the legend said Canon, now that is either a pile of books or some sort of
priest, couldn't see either, so punched by a lump of iron.... seemed to work.
The post O at the cafe worked really well, ice cream yummy, needs to be a regular feature.

A "cake of mortality" moment; on RG.

Didn't the water give you a hint that you might be going wrong?

Re: Pembrokeshire Weekend 20/21 May 17
Yes, but still convinced the underpass went to the "beach" I decided it would be quicker to carry on than turn back.
.. and my GPS track shows it as being much wetter than it was. I wasn't swimming or wading, though my feet were a bit damp.
