Thanks to everyone for coming. I hope Mark didn't have too hard a time before giving up, and sorry Brian that you had receiver problems.

Congratulations to Roy on a storming performance. I still can't believe that I had 6 teams in to me before 2:30. I was worried all week that I had made it too hard. Silly me, you never can judge how it's going to turn out.

Thanks to Alan for stepping in a short notice to run station B and for being self sufficient. It's great to be able to point an operator at an area on a map and leave it entirely to them to get set up.

I had wanted to use Burghfield Common for ages as it's an orienteering area and I had suitable maps to help pick a devious spot. That plan failed. I also didn't want to be in Bracknell Forest but close enough to hopefully lure some people into the forest before they realised their mistake. I don't think that worked either.

Still it wasn't too bad with experienced DFers finishing after 4pm.
