| After a largely dry May, Willingham was much easier going than in recent water logged years. Planner John Fulwood had spent quite some time updating the map, particularly on Hamilton Hill where several new tracks and structures had developed over the years leading to some frustration for competitors in past Poacher events. John concentrated controls in the runnable areas which are at a premium in late May and found quite a few sites not used before. After seven events Liam Harrington looks to be in an impregnable position for the Lincolnshire Poacher Trophy as he clinched another maximum points haul. DVO's Paul Beresford was up into third spot for his best 2008 Poacher performance just fifteen seconds behind EBOR's Dean Field. Florence Haines became the first Airienteer to take part in the Poacher. The current JK W14 champion made it a successful debut to win the Short course from fellow Yorkshire junior squad member Zac Field. With the best Seven events to count, next week will see some people dropping their worst points score so the league table is likely to have a different complexion. Halliday Hill next week sees parking at Grasby Bottom crossroads - runnablility is expected to be good for this time of year. |
