I competed on the Tempest this year which I found to be a cracking event however we found the road book inconsistent . One section coming out of aux service said turn right at a particular pub. This pub in question had been closed for 2 years and was no longer there we later found out. Are the organisers complacent at times with routes and minor details

Most events have to cope with a dwindling band of hard core organisers, fewer entries, a shrinking budget and increasing costs. Is it any wonder that errors creep in? As competitors we should be able to at least understand some of the problems faced by organisers and accept that they are doing their best, working hard so that we can have our fun.
If we can accept that, sooner or later, we will encounter an error in a road book or other paperwork, a better question is how can we cope? What effect did the missing pub have on your and/or other competitors, and what can you learn from that experience?

There is no doubt a certain amount of error can and does creep in to these events. As regards the time element on the road it equated to around five minutes into our alloted lateness. I cant comment on other competitors but it may have effected them as well.
Lateness is a area that I never want to go into.
