Malvern Mini League in West Midlands of England. Courses were at the site of an anchient iron age fort. That means steep hill! Was warmly greeted by the organisers of Harlequins Orienteering, one of whom said they had met the Mulders at the Scottish 6 day.
Started well then the route from 1 to 2 went right through the circle for 10 so wasted 5 minutes before realising my mistake. Rest was fair but tricky with very slippery grass slopes and undergrowth with brambles that had not yet died out for winter. At times I was just stuck. Really need to get some gaiters as my legs are badly scratched.
