Dick Keighley writes: Hogmoor Inclosure was an excellent event in a splendid venue for TrailO. Hogmoor is an old army training area of wooded heathland on the edge of the Bordon training area, chewed up during tracked vehicle training, then when surplus to requirements, sold to the council who have turned it into a mini Moors Valley, complete with cafe and a classroom space to hire, with a number of wheelchair friendly routes, and an adventure playground.
Ian Ditchfield had resurveyed part of the area for TrailO and planned a very good course. The competition was very close. Most people got most of the twenty controls and the four timed control problems, but only Anne Straube got all of it correct.
