The Stray Sod Strikes Again

The penultimate outing of the 2023 NI Colour Series was to The Burren, just of the Fermanagh border into Co Cavan on Saturday 28 October. The legend of the stray sod suggested that if a person steps on an enchanted clump of grass, they will become disorientated and lost, event in familiar outings. It would seem that quite a few compeititors had the misfortune of stepping on the sod. Apparently wearing an item of clothing inside out breaks the enchantment, so next time we return to the Burren, perhaps wear your O top inside out displaying OVL CONW, OMREF,

Thanks to the FermO team of Teresa Finlay, Planner, Organiser Raymond Finlay and Controller Robbie Bryson for a challenging day out in remarkably settled weather.

All the results are at Results/Results 2023, including Routegadget, Splitsbrowser and Winsplits. Do plot your route!
