Thanks to John for Organising/Planning which included putting the controls out twice due to the orginal date being cancelled.

Planner’s Report:

I hope you all enjoyed your run round Target Hill (so named as it was used by the Homeguard during the war for target practice) and the Miller’s Knowes (the miller from Hawick Corn Mill had the grazing rights here). The weather was certainly a big improvement from last Saturday – although it was a lot sunnier earlier in the morning when I was waking up the controls. Target hill is where I graze my cows and calves for the summer, so I obviously know the area very well and my aim was to take you to all the nice bits. I also tried to spread the controls so that there wasn’t an obvious best route. Standing watching competitors running across the face of the hill in all different directions and from comments afterwards I think I achieved that. I always knew that it would be possible to get all the controls within the time limit, so it was essential to minimise the distance run and to minimise the climbing involved. I have attached a map showing what I think is the optimum route – you may beg to differ !
