Today is the last day for lower cost entries for the level B Sarum Saunter to be held at Fonthill in Wiltshire. The area has been subject to a lot of forestry work which has significantly improved runnability. The start and finish are close to the car park.

Enter via Racesignup, event flyer attached.

I hope you all enjoyed this evening's event. The respite from recent rain was welcome, even if it had left things muddy underfoot. The odds-and-evens variant seemed to give people plenty of pause for thought and, as was the aim, prevented anyone from getting a clean sweep.

The splits below have control 183 substituted back for 243 with 25 points awarded. The results file then adds the bonus points for evens. Where competitors have revisited an even control at the end of the course, I have allowed that to count towards the bonus. If you spot any errors, please email chair [at] socweb.org (chair[at]socweb[dot]org).

Many thanks to Mark for the extended map, along with some unscheduled assistance with registration; to Colin and Christine for start duties; and to Ian, Bill, and Roger for control hanging and collecting, along with the other volunteers on the night.
