KNCTilgate Golf CourseThu 08 January, 2026

Report

Thanks all for coming despite the uncertain weather. This event was planned in a whirlwind of 10 days, so I am glad that it had enough difficulty for everyone to enjoy themselves. Thanks to Neil for organising the gear and maps. Also to Neil, Garry, Liam and Steve for stepping in at the last minute for control collecting. Thanks to Penny and Joe for SI and special thanks to everyone that helped clear the fallen tree so that we could all get out and go home!
