Report
Tonight was the final event in this year's Night Urban Series, a dry evening for a run around Windermere, we hope you enjoyed tonight and the whole series. Apologies to anyone on the short course who maybe was confused en-route to or from control 5, who had their map orientated correctly, for controls 6 & 9 possibly being confused.
Many thanks especially tonight go to Pete who agreed to plan it at a fairly late stage, Sandy as Series Co-ordinator, the control collectors Jo and Andy (Apologies to anyone I've missed, I wasn't there !) and the SI Team of Mike, Sandy & Jerry. Also many thanks to the Brookside Inn for allowing us to use their facilities tonight and to Warrior OC for use of their map.
