| Trig bagging. I helped at the British Orienteering Champs below at Ewden in the days of still using pin punches. I dutifully disqualified a lot of the elite runners for a wrong pin pattern until the organiser agreed something was awry with the codes and all reinstated and a riot avoided. | Chris Pearson | 01/07/1994 |
