\n\tHello All. Apologies for the late posting of these results. I’ve been in a broadband black hole on the Lands End peninsula since the race took place. A nice problem to have! I have discovered that the Crown (the best pub in Penzance) has a wi-fi link, so here goes…<\/p>\n
\n\tCongratulations to Neil Northrop who set off confidently in a clockwise direction and breezed round, thus putting paid to some people’s claims that one of the controls was missing, (wrong bend, wrong fence!). The rest of the field split roughly 50-50, with Pete Gorvett opting for a very elegant anti-clockwise sweep that would have been my route of choice as course planner. Sorry about the neck-high bracken, but it was getting dark by the time I reached this stage of the route when I put out the controls – it was too late to start looking for a Plan B. At least there wasn’t much of it. If you knew what you were doing the rest of the route was navigable on paths. Clearly several people didn’t know what they were doing, and chucked in swathes of gratuitous extra bracken while crossing the Burbage valley.<\/p>\n
\n\tAll to play for in Sharpener 4, with Karl Marshall and defending champion Andy Barnett head-to-head in the series and Keith Holmes in contention if he can discipline himself to do a bit of navigation every now and then. See you next month. Dave<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello All. Apologies for the late posting of these results.
