John Ward has been pestering me for some years to map his local patch but I always thought it was too small. It was only when I realized that I could join it up with Whinfield Park to add distance to courses that I agreed. From the smiley faces and animated remarks at the finish, the area seems to have been a success, much to my surprise. Orienteers seem to get perverse enjoyment from getting wet, so with the stepping stones at the stream crossings well under water after all the recent rain you had up to 4 opportunities to splash through. Some of you even decided to test out the depth of the oxbow lake and got a (very deep) shock! My thanks to John for all his help on the day.
