Urban maps have some special symbols so make sure you know what’s Out of Bounds (olive green) or can’t be crossed (thick black lines) as it’s private property.

Results and Splits

Interesting idea combining 50/50 woods/streets. Did you like it? Shame I couldn’t make it but I did have an interesting urban encounter of my own this evening in the shape of a cheeky young fox nosing around hopefully for scraps at Union Square bus station.

By the time we had a control stolen in Westhill and David bought 2 bottles of wine for AWPR3 Trophies on an impulse, we may not have made much money today but boy did we have a load of fun and a very relaxed and sociable time sunbathing in Westhill Industrial Estate or BBQing at Balmedie. And we ate a lot of cake and drank a lot of tea throughout the day courtesy of Zoe revelling in her new found vocation as GRAMP Tea Lady.

Many thanks to our guinea pigs from GRAMP, WCOC, ESOC, AUOC, MOR and MAROC for helping us trial the AWPR3 format. Feedback was so positive that we’re already pondering whether to make it an annual thing but using Cove or Countesswells to mix it up a bit. Maybe Saturdays aren’t best for most though? Watch this space.

Many thanks to David Esson, Peter Lawrence and Rachel Scott for planning/organising/computing, Carol Jackson for helping tidy up after the cake locusts had moved on, and Tim and Sam Griffin, Bob Daly and Hugh Nicholson for control collecting.
