Sugg Farm, 06/12/22 – Results
We had a lovely (albeit a bit hot) event at Sugg Farm. It was the first official BOK event there and people seemed to enjoy the courses.

Well, we got lucky – it was raining all day and we had no problem with parking whatsoever. On the other hand, it was raining all day… The courses turned out to be hard and physical. Hopefully having plenty of controls and short legs between controls made it easier to deal with. Kudos to all…
