Eltham Parklands
Sunday, 19 November 2017
Eltham Parklands is a lovely scenic map - yes that's code for hilly! We all dream of a course with 20 controls in the actual parklands beside the river, but it never happens ... course setter Peter L didnt cooperate! He certainly tested our climbing skills, and our brains as well. Fastest on A course were Steven, Russell and Warwick. Quickest on B were Lauris, Geoff and Katherine. Winners on C were Ian, Phil and Andrew. First back on D were Ewen, Sue and me. Len just held off Dave on PW to win by a point, ahead of Ros and Barry.
Steven claimed his fifth consecutive win on A course; Russell and Stephen are still second and third. Geoff moved to first on B, ahead of Damian and Stuart. Dennis still leads C course, Fiona is now second and Philippa third. Ewen moved to outright first on D ahead of me and Kathy. Len also has a perfect streak, and leads PW from Barry and Mike.
See you next Thursday at Research.
