The quandary, set by Michael Burton, was definitely what can I get and survive. There were those who tried for all 600 but alas no one achieved Nirvana. There were those who took on the valley and then headed west and those who stayed east avoiding the valley altogether and then those who headed to the valley and picked up a few on return. Whatever the tactics it was a tough day in the joggers. Many an overtime runner greeted the download table with gasps of "goodness gracious me- I am late" common.Having used this map for a fabulous President's Cup (Uringa Christmas Party) last year, the valley had a lot of interest for me and a lot of bang for your buck. Brian "once bitten twice shy" stayed east of the valley for a pretty good harvest. Gayle was cursing as she chose to miss 9 and 26 whilst in the valley...
Linda took on the valley and managed to collect the controls on the "Butcher's Block" as well.
Pity Rick and Sarah weren't home as via there house for a pit stop was a definite possibility.
Catherine continues her fine form in Open Women with 2nd place (450 points) and Helen was similarly placed in Legends scoring 290. Mary Jane scored 3rd in Legends with 190 points. Lisa (330) and Adrienne (300 points) were 3rd and fourth respectively in Super Vets. Brian was best of the men with a 7th in Immortals with 270 points
Have a look at the following link for an interesting dissertation on control visitation at this event.
