Three loops in the South part of Graithwaite. Unfortunately, a large proportion of the trees have been chopped down, and quite a lot of these have just been left lying around. I seemed to spend more time trying not to stack it than reading the map, and even then I was falling over a lot. The first two loops were control picks, and after a sloppy start on the first one, I started to flow well. The last loop was long legs, and I went properly AWOL on one of them. Having to work hard to make progress through the forest, lots of swearing and trying not to get too annoyed.

Out to the start of the morning and afternoon sessions.

One man relay in the Eastern part of Graithwaite. This was more like it, fantastic fast runnable forest. Tried to pick the pace up a little bit, but my legs weren't playing. Ran pretty cleanly, with just a couple of little misses, which were when I wasn't using my compass.
