I suspect the tracks will recover within a growing season. What I did find disturbing was the appearance of litter....I'm sure most was not deliberate but bounces out of pouches and pockets unknown to the wearer. Picked up a plastic gatorade bottle on way to check 8 (or was it 10). It just looks so incongruous in otherwise virginal barren wasteland.
Really enjoyed that and am tired now. Did long score and finished 42nd frmo about 200 teams i think. We were 75th after day one and really went for it on day 2, getting a far flung 25 and 40 and legging it back to be 4 mins late, a good price to pay for 65 extra points!
Day one's tussocks were, more than anything, a test of patience and it was most amusing to see various other competitors tumbling that one extra time beyond their tolerance limit and letting out the resultant profanity, This usually took the form of, "Right, this isn't ***** funny any more".
I just looked up the species of grass that occupies the Elan valley and it is actually called Tussockus Giganticus because of it's unique clustered growth characteristics.
OK i made that up.
Well done organisers, marshalls and all that ran. Not well done to the weather forecasters.
