| Running 2:05:00 [3]24 km (5:12 / km) | |
| |
| Run from Grindleford back home via Higger, High Nebb, Head Stone and back along the top of Rivelin. Into a gusty wind all the way along Stanage. Trying to run just outside the comfort zone, a bit like going on an easy run with Nails or Craney. |

Wednesday Mar 14 |
| Orienteering 1:05:00 [3]*** 12 km (5:25 / km) | |
| spiked:12/15c |
| No paths training on Sherwood and Budby - hanging bogroll for Jenny and Laura. Very difficult since the map, which was never that good in the first place (I should know, I made it), had changed quite a bit. Nice open forest though so good compass training. Then onto a control pick in a small area of old oak trees. |
