SROCkite.gif (2521 bytes) Lancaster University summer sprint event

This evening's fifth and last event in the summer sprint series was held at the Lancaster University campus, earmarked for the JK 2015 sprint venue. David Roome planned but was unable to be there for the event so Rowena Browne ably organised while Julian Lailey put out all the controls. One of the difficult things about using this campus for orienteering is that they will keep changing it by building or demolishing things! Some new building works meant that the recently updated map was incorrect in some places which made a difference to the relative speed of various route choices. Therefore the splits either side of controls 6 and 9 on the Prologue were omitted from the results. The Final was very little affected by new works so all the times stand. Gavin Smith nobly self-disqualified after using an apparently valid cut-through which was not shown on the map. Sometimes having local knowledge is not an advantage! Results are on the series webpage. RouteGadget and final series tables will follow later.
