When will I be famous?
I would question the need for an elite class at National events that are not WRE. As a complete contrast to yesterday, GO's National event 1 (a run John Hartley would rather forget) did not offer an elite class and had many competitiors running in M21L including many big names from far away. I guess this could be because of Interland, or being nearer to the annual C1 events or maybe even because of the runnability but certainly not due to the technical experience offered!
I'm gonna keep it alive, and continue to be, flying like an eagle to my destiny.

Being somewhat pedantic.....not county wise either!
However, given that Wharnecliff was being used, yesterday does seem a slightly odd choice - maybe the selectors thought they had to choose a National Event? Or simply stuck for other venues? Or maybe it's just our perceptions - after all Wharnecliff and Fylingdales are over 100 miles apart.

Particularly when the total entry for E and L combined was 10.
Not a good enough area in my opinion, and the planning wasn't by any means terrible but I thought didn't even make the most of the area. Long legs towards obvious forest corners and plenty of common controls with other courses - particularly in the far south. The only time I wasted (apart from not being able to run properly) was searching for tiny depressions or gullies in chest high bracken while in the circle.
I thought also that the map wasn't very fair with runnability. Pretty well the whole map was mapped with the same runnability yet there was a mixture of ankle high heather, knee high heather and chest high bracken. Quite a difference in runnability. Also as Schnizter says there were plenty of old vehicle tracks which you could only pick up by luck, but when you did you could run.
