Testing a home-made maprun course in Paisley. Worked well, I think thanks to a recent accurate urban map! Still managed a mistake on my own course.

Dunrod Hill maprun and another mess of a run on a nice course in great weather! Ok to 3 but couldn’t make sense of shapes at 4. Was near it but drifted away looking for a more distinct hill; found the control eventually on what seemed like a vague ridge of heather. Almost 10 mins wasted and lost impetus after that, so admired the scenery and sections I’d not visited recently, stopped to tighten laces, had another argument with the map at 8 and plodded home.

Mains Estate maprun long course. Enjoyed it, some nice bits of semi-woodland, and all the controls registered in the right place. Alas, got distracted by a happy collie and overshot no.7 blowing 4 mins! Felt rather sluggish but time ok apart from the howler.
