These are the simple results, just for the running part of the event.
Results as a pdf showing the Kim’s Game bonus for good memory and the overall points.
Routegadget has also been set up and also WinSplits (although for a score event this is of little interest unless you use QuickRoute to analyse your GPS tracks.)
Advance Information
Come along to our annual fun festive event which will be held this year in the morning of Hogmanay at Vogrie Country park. (We are keeping to our regular last Saturday of the month.)
Sheila is planning the course which will be a 60 minute score. As ever, there will be a twist so that just visiting the controls isn’t the only way to gain points and win prizes. What will she have devised for us this year?
There might be a few more details here nearer the event, but don’t expect the whole story 🙂
There won’t be a separate white or yellow map, but we will recommend which subset of the controls will make an easy course so all are welcome.
We will be based in the café which is being opened specially for us.
