Crossed Wires

On 15 April Mary & I organised orienteering activities for primary & secondary groups at Sir John Colfox School, Bridport. Unfortunately, some messages had got lost in the system...

We placed the control boxes first thing in the morning. It was then reported to the site managers that two suspicious people carrying a mysterious blue box were placing explosive devices in the school grounds.

"They were definitely bombs - they were red and had wires coming out of them!"
(I suppose wires and cable ties do look vaguely similar?).

The site managers went into overdrive but happily thought to check with the admin office before calling police.

So I'm not being held for any terrorist offences!

P.S. The kids had a wonderful time. The primary school pupils did a 17-control score in pairs. I was genuinely surprised by their concentration on keeping their maps orientated properly & not running off aimlessly in all directions! The Y9/10s ran individual loop courses. They were also a pleasure - bright, good listeners, and highly competitive! A good day.
