That does look tricky. Thankfully I’m pretty familiar with a lot of the town.

Looking forward to Leeds fonzy. I want to do a bit of O tourism and the UK and Europe leagues look ideal for that.

Agree that the south east part of the Bracknell map is more tactical. The north east can be overwhelming and trickier depending on the planned route.

I enjoyed that. Got around with no issues.

11 out of 11 when I downloaded but that’s just because I’m a slow runner. :)

26th out of 36 who did my course (5 of those missed controls). Very happy with that :)

Anybody at the British Long Champs this weekend? I did course 9 which was 9.4km and 450m of climb. O at its brutalist. Glad I wasn’t doing relays today.

Nope. Still broken and I'm planning the sprints at Leeds uni in the summer, so my time is taken up with that.

From the results, looks like the courses were overplanned by about 10%.....

EWT for M21E is supposed to be 90-100min, and even GG was outside this..

Since all other courses follow from this, that explains why it was a bit long.
