| horrible run at Eyam! The course didn't even go in the best bit. Intermittent hail and snow blizzards and head high (well it felt like it) heather. Great. Good training and orienteered well overall I think. Bashed knee near start but it feels OK (some nice scars and bruises). Still at least I didn't head to the Lakes - Oli just rang to say Snake and Woodhead passes are both closed due to snow so who knows when he'll get home!!?? |
