Message Thanks squeaky and Almost Good for the day. All the controls were exactly where they were shown on the map. My challenge was paying enough attention to read this detail. Being a first time setter for Event 6 (mentioned above) I had my Clues vetted independently by Bob Gilbert, and laid out and measured distances of alternative routes, and people still weren't happy on the day. I learnt 50 different people read things 50 different ways. Also there are a lot of different opinions on how the maps should be laid out ... I think the challenge of having different styles each week is part of the attraction. Sometimes they are 'paint by numbers' events where you either go left or right and sometimes you spend the whole 2 minutes and still don't fully decide or change your mind midway. Maybe leepback can get together all this years first time setters and talk about the issues raised and what is contained in the proforma 'instruction sheet'. I would encourage more first timers to take this on to share the workload and diversity of styles. This message was edited by Mess Engineer on 11 February 2010, 9:57 PM
