A 45 minute score event (visit as many control sites as possible within the allowed time). Map will be A3 size with a scale of 1:5000. First use of this urban map of Hessle (trialled at the AGM in September at A4 size). The map extends to Hessle foreshore and also includes a mix of affordable and unaffordable housing areas. Hi Vis and Head Torches Required Under 16s to be accompanied. The Marquis of Granby is located in Hessle Square. There is a car park behind the pub which has a charge. However the charge (£1) can be redeemed inside the pub for a drink or food. Please note that last orders for food is 8pm. See web-site below for the menu, etc.
I didn't think anyone would get all twenty controls as they were quite well spread out, but congratulations to Brian W who was only just over time visiting all controls with an impressive running distance of around 9km. There are a number of distinct areas to the Hessle map with a small parcel of complex housing to the east, the windswept Hessle foreshore in the south west and more traditional housing and shopping areas. Consequently the controls were focused on the far ends of the map. This had the disadvantage, that if you weren't one of the super fast runners there weren't too many controls available - apologies. Many thanks to the control collectors - Ken, Jackie, Mary,Paul and Pat, Alex and Kate. And thanks to Brian S for printing the maps and to Isoldt for helping on registration.
