MAROC SOL 5 - Coull





It was great to return to Coull after ca 20 years and to run a course, planned by Roger Coombs, which made really good use of the area. I ran M50L which was 7.3k with 330m of climb and 17 controls.

Results.

Looking at your route from 7-8.
Just before the control you go straight through a high fence.
Was there a gate?
How did you know that it would be crossable?

I knew it would be a deer fence and have had plenty of practice negotiating these in the past.

I am obviously too cautious.
I have come across several deer fences that have been in a poor state of repair, with loose posts that make them un-climbable without risk of damage.

When possible, I climb them at a straining post which are usually more firmly set in the ground than ordinary posts. The wire tends to be more securely fixed to the strainers too, which also helps.
