Event: DVOA Coventry Woods
Orienteering race 1:41:00 [4] 7.4 km (13:39 / km) +250m 11:41 / km
Organizers put me on the result list although I never punched the last control, already removed. Very nice of them.
I was curious about the new map, as the terrain is obviously both challenging and interesting. The map is not good, field-checking is rather poor.
Just a couple of examples. The object on which #12 was placed simply DNE.
The ditch before it does neither. Yet the HUGE rootstock on the approach is not shown. The mini-terrace at #4/9 is overgrown with thorny raspberry (?)bushes, you have to fight thru to reach the control, yet it is all "white" on the map, as you run trying to read the stream of objects, it's constantly like OMG, WTF, OMG,....
