Planner's comments:
Thank you to everyone who turned up on Saturday despite the awful weather in the morning. Luckily it became fine in time for the first starts although the ground was extremely muddy & slippery. Even though it is a small area I think I got a reasonable Green course out of it and I hope Light Green, Orange & Yellow were also acceptable. Thanks also to everyone who helped in any way especially Jim. Pity the rain started again when we were collecting in!

Organiser's Comments:
It was touch and go earlier in the day with axle deep flood water on my way to the event, but dry weather prevailed from first starter to last finisher. Lucky us.
For the first time PFO paid Hyndburn Council for use of the car park, pavilion and toilets. I think you'll agree it was money well spent considering the conditions.
Thanks to Mary, the SI and registration team, the competitors and helpers alike for making it a worthwhile event.
Next PFO event is Dean Clough Regional on Sunday 20th October.
