Magic: FYI Mr Dixie, on Sprint maps walls marked with a think line mean that you are not allowed to cross them!!! Tut tut, doing it twice in a single race ? you?ll have to clean up your act for the Scottish in Stirling!

forest grump: You cheated and still didn't beat me.... :-)

Jon X: the Scottish has much higher walls, anyone cheating by jumping from some of those is unlikely to complete the course!

Dixie: Magic - this raises the question of whether it was a sprint map and also whether the aforementioned wall was marked with a thick line! 1:10,000 scale would indicate it was not a sprint map and the wall was not, as far as my dodgy eyes could see, shown with a thick line. So no cheating here Mr Gump, but admittedly a very narrow defeat to you at a training event after a weeks hard training (with no missed days!) and having turned-up and raced (no excuses!) at the British the weekend before!

Jethro: This discussion just confirms my belief that so called "sprint" orienteering is a micky mouse discipline!

Lard: Well, it's some kind of Holllywood affair what with Forest Gump, Magic Alibongo characters running!
A well deserved rest on Monday - well done Martin.
