Night-O, Djouce!
Great fun. Biggish mistake at 4, the hillside was empty of lights and I was looking for a spur rather than a charcoal platform, oops. Another mistake at 6 and on the last control, small wobbles elsewhere but not unreasonable given the time of day.
putting out and collecting controls, Castlecomer. Nice to have Hugh's company and help for the latter. I was on start duty, on my feet for most of the time between 9.30 and 4pm, which is rare enough.
Andrew Cox does an inredible amount for the sport. Nice to see Coxes and Storeys helping out.
We ran out of maps on all courses except Y and LG, so quite a bit of recycling happened. People remained remarkably polite and good-tempered while waiting for maps to appear.
