Warm-down around the car park. Interesting as I could see many, many (some very experienced) orienteers jumping right over either the uncrossable wall or cutting through the uncrossable hedge. This has been controversial at many international events - British Champs, WOCs, etc. How to teach people that uncrossable means you aren't allowed to cross it, even if you physically can? It's not a big deal for a local event, but what if someone missed out on an Irish title because of it? Planning the course so that you don't get a choice? Or marking the uncrossable features with tape? There probably isn't an easy answer.
