12th September 2012 Craig Phadrig Evening Event – Results

Organiser's Report
Thank you to everybody who turned up for the Craig Phadrig evening event on 12th September – hopefully you enjoyed the courses and found them a good training exercise. The map was recently updated by Steve Smirthwaite from MOR with the help of Hector Haines I believe and although the terrain and features are generally mapped pretty well, I think Steve will agree that there are still some updates that are required to make it totally accurate, and if the area was a little bigger, then there might be scope for putting on a level 3 event in the area – food for thought. I was pleasantly surprised at how technical some of Craig Phadrig was especially towards the far end of the map and round the large hill with the vitrified fort on top. I had initially intended on taking the Green course into the large area of light green on the Beauly Firth side of the map but the only real usable Green standard feature in that area was occupied by a bees' nest and I didn’t think it would go down too well if you all came back with stings – I ended up with 4 particularly painful ones on a Sunday morning about 3 weeks before the event.

It’s been many years since I last planned any kind of event and the tools for planning have certainly improved – the Condes software is very good and usable although it did take me a couple of days to figure out the features. I had initially thought about using EMIT for timing, but learning another software package was a step too far on this occasion. I have volunteered to plan another evening event next year (maybe in May) so I’ll take that opportunity to learn EMIT.
