Euromeeting / 6 Day Sprint 31 July Lossiemouth

[Arnold]

I always thought Final Details were too formulaic / uninteresting ("the forest is a mixture of runnable and less runnable woodland", "take care crossing streams", blablabla), so having something a bit more interesting is good. I think final details should excite you about the race rather than just provide technical stuff.

I suppose for a "serious" competition it may be felt to be inappropriate but then many orienteers have a pretty good sense of humour!

(I still didn't get the leopard joke but that's probably just me)

[EddieH]

Me neither.

Visitors might be interested to know that the local nickname for the area is "Sin City"

There's every chance Greywolf's comment about leopards relates to the terrain you are running in - http://www.123rf.com/photo_18315368_leo ... kenya.html

Has anyone tested the effectiveness of whitles in repelling leopards?

[graeme]

There is no evidence that whistles provide any effective protection against leopards or ticks. For this reason, whistles are not required in the sprint, although they may be carried at your own risk.

[plain lazy]

Maybe folk should be more worried about the creatures in Sin City WEARING leopard print...
