The New Year Cracker returned to more normal terrain today as over 140 orienteers gathered for the mass start in Low Park Wood, near Kendal. There were many compliments paid to Simonas Sakalauskas's courses, a choice of a classic score or the more fiendish Fours, Fives and Sixes. Nobody managed to collect all the controls on either course within the 45 minute time limit, despite some valliant attempts. Congratulations to Matt Rooke and Cate Matthew, first male and female on the complex course, while Max Wilkinson and Rachel Platt were the first placed on the classic. Full results are on-line here, and RouteGadget is available here.
