Report
It was a very warm evening on Birkrigg Common today for the latest Summer Series event, we hope you all enjoyed the event and the special courses planned by Iain and his new map of some of the area! As the Long, Short and Orange courses all used two maps at different scales, apologies but I won't be able to post anything to Routegadget.
As always, many thanks to Iain for planning, Gill as safety, Sandy as Series Co-ordinator, Simon C and Gill for first aid cover, Gill, Graham, Iain and Pete for control collecting and the SI Team of Ali, Mike and Sandy.
