It was considered, briefly, at an early stage in planning but it wasn't possible without diluting the technical challenge and/or making courses even longer (C & D turned out to be a minute or two longer than testing had suggested).
I was also conscious that we didn't have exclusive use of the assembly area and wanted to make sure that we didn't monopolise all routes into the forest from the field.
