PS,

Clearly a lot more attitude about than one might suspect.

Yonks ago our little trek was Salisbury Plain. Junior courses played hunter force. The plan was a cunning one.

Hunter force would deploy along two roads north and south of Imber Clump. Evaders would then be sent off left and right so half would go through each hunter force.

When all evaders had passed through the first trap both HF were withdrawn and repositioned on the e-w road to west in IC. Evaders would be tired, crossing a double strength hunter force and also bumping in to each other.

I have never been so cold and peed off lying in a tank track rut trying to keep out of site and warm as the water all about froze. No one saw any evaders the entire night.

Working to a pre-arranged plan the evaders had, to a man, doubled through the HF lines before the HF deployed and made an RV in a pub in Warminster.

No way they could recourse or chop an entire course.
