Report
BASOC hope you all enjoyed your visit to Grantown West and Callum's courses. The forecast of thunderstorms did not materialise - fortunately!
Comment from Jane on the timing: Sorry for the wait - here are the full results and splits. I hadn't ticked the box for the "evening event" in SI set-up, as well as the Start and Finish units still being on winter time - no one told them it was summer ;) Thanks to Jon Shepherd (INVOC) for working out what I had done wrong.
