The John Bennison Long Mynd Long O 2020 Results, Organisers and Planners comments

Planner’s Comments

I like to think people would be unhappy if the courses aren’t long or steep enough. After all it is the Long O.
Taking into account the possibility of controls being pinched, massive valleys, bracken and avoiding the flushes it can be a real challenge finding interesting routes. But we thoroughly enjoyed the excuse to get out on the hill and do the research. 
Control 176 was placed on the wrong crag because I did not find the lower one hidden in the bracken. 21/22 isn’t bad.
Who’s planning next year? Can I run?

Great to see so many people at a real event again! Thanks to competitors for complying with the extra sanitation requirements and deciphering the lengthy Final Details. We recovered all souls off the hill, despite a few dehydration issues. Well done!
Special thanks to our excellent Wrekin helpers for getting the event running: Steve Parker, Adrian Pickles, Richard Rogers, Mike Callow, Noreen and Derek Turner, Di Jacks, John Broadhead, Charlie Leventon, Kristof Nowicki, Tony Callow, Andy Clough, Clive Richardson and Martin Gibbons. 
We agreed last year to plan this event, with hopes of cutting carbon by running a Saturday event tied in with public transport or some green travel incentives. Then along came Covid…and instead we were cars aplenty and buying plastic…maybe next year….?

Organiser’s Report 
West Midland League race; Long Mynd North East
November 17th 2019
 
Firstly thanks to everyone who helped in any way to make the event happen. WREKIN members organisation was as reliable as ever and made my role as easy as it can be. 130 competitors travelled to race on a day which was grey, damp and misty making the courses a little more challenging.

Secondly thanks to the National Trust Long Mynd Staff team for permission to use the area and Space Mobiles for the facilities.
Finally thank you to everyone for coming and making our efforts worthwhile

Planner’s Report 
West Midland League race; Long Mynd North East
November 17th 2019
 
I enjoyed planning these courses and I hope you enjoyed running them. Kerstin Mitchell my controller provided a sound eye and level of support. 
I kept most courses low down on the hill partly in case of bad weather but also to balance the level of technical challenge and distance. When planning on the Long Mynd it is important to try and guess what state the vegetation will be on the day of the event and allow for this in your planning process.

For the shortest and less technical courses the challenge was to get the right level of difficulty without having each control visible from the previous one. 

Competitors on courses in the lower valley area, from Short Green upwards, had to read contours and use them to stay at the best height. 
The longest courses from Green upward crossed the road and had route choices involving steep slopes, longer distance or more climbing. These course all finished with a rapid descent across the road for a final loop around the lower slopes with a change of technique.
Thanks to Kerstin Mitchell(HOC) for controlling, Hassall and Lucking for excellent map printing and Mike Capper(WAOC) for assisting with control hanging.

Any thoughts gratefully received
