Dave - that works fine for me as well. We have a deal. Do you know if there is any car sharing planned from the Macc Area?

Neil

I can pick you up as you are on route. How about picking you up at 6.10pm from outside the school near the speed camera ?

You have my mobile if you need to ring me.

Perfect. I will be there. Brian has suggested that we need a waterproof jacket as a minimum for safety.

Thank you,

Neil

I'd like to thank Brian (and the support team) for all their hard work for this evening's Scamper-O - a really good night in near-perfect conditions.

Thank you Brian,

Neil

Just adding my thanks to Brian et al for a very enjoyable ( at least after the blistering sun had gone) evening scouring the hills for control points. Always a great area to run in. Cheers Dave

I'd like to add my thanks for Brian for a splendid evening. The controls around 18 and 19 had me scratching my head and doubting my compass for a moment (or ten). Great fun, fab course, cheers.

Thanks for organising a great event yesterday, and providing nice weather to match! I am new to this sort of thing hence the low number of checkpoints found, but I was just in it for a runaround off-road in a pleasant area - which is pretty much what it was for me!

Looking forward to doing another one. :)

Thanks Brian and others for putting this on - nice run out for in perfect conditions in sublime countryside - we are so fortunate to have this on our doorstep - I particularly like those lesser used footpaths where tussock grass and bog seem to have taken over - or maybe it was that I wasn't even on the footpath?
