Thanks to LOG and RAFO for an enjoyable Long-O yesterday. As I suspected it wasn't all as nice as the pictures on the website but the planner did a good job of avoiding the worst of the brambles and keeping the navigation interesting. It is nice to run in a part of the country I would never normally get round to visiting.

Thanks to everyone who travelled from the four corners to make our inaugural Bomber such a success. It was a first joint venture for LOG and RAFO, and I think we worked well together, it certainly was fun! We had a few "pre-match nerves" as access was granted then withdrawn, with dates and venues having to switch even as courses were being planned, but with 6 woods involved it was hardly surprising I guess.
Four Swedish teams added to the atmosphere at the relays, but there still appears to be a reluctance to do relays unless at JK or BOC, odd when each run only cost £1.66! Twyford has a reputation for brambles, but the planner kept us 95% in the good bits, resulting in fast head to head racing and a very tight finish between the top teams.
Turn-out for the Sunday C4 was a bit low, too much on maybe? But the long-O was a revelation, with almost 50 runners when we had predicted 30! Comments at the finish were universally positive, with competitors appreciating the full-on aspect of the orienteering, with few long track runs.
Now we have to de-brief and decide whether to make the Bomber a regular thing, all constructive criticism appreciated of course.
