Crash course in orienteeriing starts…
Muir of Dinnet South - DNC Long from a few years ago.
Worthwhile but found the heather tough. Nav certainly very rusty. Not running fluently.

Felt heavy but still lingering stomach issues probably. Home Farm loop then back via Torqu, post delayed return from Oslo. Seems spring like.
Note
Bus to Hokksund and then train to a snowbound Gardermoen. Flight cancelled. Unplanned airport hotel night courtesy of KLM.
145k and +3600m - plenty of it in tough conditions, but plenty great too. Very special route and trip. Largely tracked but plenty of those blown in or not cut for many days. Largely deserted too.
Hopefully over food poisoning now. Tired but intact . No blisters or soreness to speak of. Better get running again.

Haglebu to Templesetter
A right tough day. Steep skinning 6.2k climb to start followed by about 10k of snow balling under the skis. No waxes worked, nor did skinning. Would have been a great route in better weather. When clouds lifted the lakes and rock formations showed some of their grandeur. More trail breaking before the final 2-3k where wax came to life. What should have been an easier day was anything but.
More ptarmigan.

Langedrag to Haglebu
Fabulous day of skiing. Up and down dale and across large lakes and culminating in skiing to summit of Hallingnatten in a real hooley. Could barely stand at the top and was in danger of being blown off to goodness knows where. Large herd of 100+ reindeer unbothered. Great sun and blue sky. Views to match. Even met three folk… a real rarity in this route. Great, but exceedingly steep and long, slightly icy descent - tough on nordics - the legs in bits at the end - partly as a result of a long time breaking trail. Blackest of the black tracks.

Myking to Langedrag Nature Park
Tougher day at the office albeit shortish. Flat light and largely cloudy.
Really struggling after resurgence of Morocco food poisoning or at least the side effects of medicines designing to mitigate the aforementioned. Grateful for advice of retired gp who advised that symptoms of bloating were the result of those rather than sickness.
