I hope you all enjoyed your sojourn around the delights of Rhinefield.  The original plan had been to copy the 2022 Nov Classic and park at New Park and then run over to Rhinefield, but my initial recce showed it would then be a race of 2 halves with a long stretch of dead running required.  I looked at a long walk to the start or a long walk back from the finish but either way still had a minimum of 750m dead running.  That said I have not given up on the idea and I will have another look for next year, perhaps with an extension of the map.

There were not many long legs available due to the abundance of tracks so it soon became a route choice challenge, go straight, or is there a faster route around.  As it turned out the longest leg for most was the one into the finish control where there were 4 possible routes in from 127. Parts of the map are tough going, but in most cases the direct route was normally the better option. Lots of clearance work going on also meant many visits to keep updating the map and tweaking courses.   

Thank you for your forbearance with the parking restrictions, I took a gamble and allowed 180 entrants, against the original limit of 150 and we got away with it just, thanks to those who had to park up at the Brock Hill CP.
