night orienteering controls

[pyrat]

hmm, definite mixed response about this. I think the resolution seems to be, if you are putting on a night event and you think the terrain suits, use them if you want.

we are not trying to be scandinavia over here (they can be a bit dull), but there is some progression required.

Reflectors are just too visible.. Mind it would be fun if somebody chased a sheep thinking that it was a control.

My grouse is with the use of certain features for controls at night, eg spurs. A big broad spur as you often get in England covers a fair area, you can find the control, but sometimes the flag is a wee bit more elusive at night.

As for the folk that use diffuse veg boundaries.. May they be cast out into an eternal Herefordshire forest , forever July.(Or Kingsbury!)
