Before I start, I've just got to say today was quality. Great weather, courses, terrain and company. It doesn't get much better. Big up to the posse who were out.

Downhill trains in Macc Forest. I was sceptical when OJ said it was going to be nice, but he was spot on and it was gorgeous. Perhaps I got a bit excited about how nice it was, but it was one of those days. 4 * 2km loops. Mostly navigating cleanly, but one big miss.

Uphill running between the loops, and also to and from the start. Oh, and also looking for the girls who had managed to get themselves separated.

A compass and height exercise in err, what was the wood called again? Again, I wasn't convinced when OJ said it was going to be nice, but again he was right and it was lovely. Took my time, hit (almost) all the controls spot on and felt nice and smooth through the terrain. A really good exercise.

Run up a big hill to the start of the orienteering exercise, and a run up a big hill at the finish. That's what happens when you have a mostly downhill course.
