Lunchtime lap of Hesley Wood Scout Camp and the adjacent Hesley Wood Tip. HWT is an old spoil tip, which has started to revegetate. The slope below also similar bell pit style to tankersley and hesley. Checking it out for possible British Champs Relay 2011. Its got my stamp of approval, and the scouts seemed ok, just need to get Yorkshire Forward to tell me when they are dumping 1000 tonnes of topsoil on the top of it! (sometime next year! possibly)

Event: (SROC,UK) FARLETON KNOTT
 

SROC Badge on that hill on the right that always marks you getting to the Lakes on the M6. The number of times i've thought it looks pretty good for orienteering or for running up. The map was very good, though the extra symbols were abit hit and miss what you were gonna get. Pity that the mapper had mapped 2000 boulders, but the planner had planned TD4 courses. Controls also seemed to be on really obvious features or shining out on the oncoming side of the feature. One of the best was a fence corner -I'm not sure i've been to a fence corner for a couple of years. If it had been me i'd have planned a great little control pick through the boulders. Even though the course let it down it was still a great event and weather. A highlight was taking the last brown course map....

To the start, back from the finish.

Ringlinglow Quarries sprint races. Great map/fun planned by Marcus. Good addition of Sheffields Map Hall of Fame.

Warm up along lady cannings, then over to ringinlow quarries, lap of each course to collect controls and back to the car. Was tempted to go for a lap of burbage, but chickened out.

Just can't seem to shake off this crap feeling...

Anyway ran from Tha Sportsman, along t'wyming brook, headstone, haunted house, bus stop, high neb, pole, trespass n back. Light until pretty much the headstone, then torch until i got off the trespass, then dark...

Still feel crap

2 x 1km in't middle to try to get the legs moving.
