Pickering Urban Race

[Wendles]

I thoroughly enjoyed running round the very pretty town of Pickering in the sunshine, thankyou very much EBOR. The course had lots of variety, route choice and tricky ginnels - pity my legs weren't up to the challenge! It is the first time I have started in someone's garden and the spring flowers were lovely.

As there was not much of the race left when I finished, there are only a very few photographs here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendles56/sets/72157623714424514/

How did I manage to post this twice?! Could someone delete it for me please?

I don't know when I've enjoyed a race so much - totally brilliant - the start was pretty as a picture and the courses were constantly interesting - I like the combination of control clusters and long legs with hard choices to make.

thank you EBOR for a lovely event.

*envy* I wish I'd been more organised and got up there.

I had to look up ginnel, not heard that term before!

Ginnels sound like an essential part of any interesting urban orienteering course.

and there's plenty of them on the Ham Estate for the SE Sprint Champs (even though we don't call them that round here - ginnel being a Yorkshire term)
Just need your entry now for some very tricky urban sprinting in your own backyard

Another good map, some good courses that made the most of them, but it wasn't really up with the likes of Cambridge, Edinburgh, London, etc. Fun though, thanks EBOR.
