Planners Comments:
From comments it appears the blocked routes and one-way system added to route choice complexity. Second runs seem to have been a bit easier but that was always going to be the case in a small maze like this one. Perhaps next year we can look at the larger maze near Sedgwick. Anyhow hope you enjoyed it. Come and join us again for the night urban series. Details will be on the web site soon.
