VHI individual. Eyam Moor. M40 - brown, 8.3 km. A varied area and fun orienteering. Really enjoyed it. Didn't even mind the tough heather sections, as they never seemed to go on for too long. Made at least 4 mistakes, which was frustrating, though for only 3 mins total, and about 4 mins off the pace. The landslip area towards the end was spectacular and challenging navigation, mostly because the map had soaked up a bit too much bog juice by then and was unreadable. Wales finished up 3rd, as usual, though not too far off the Scots!

Course BR - Splits

VHI relays at Longshaw. 4.4 km. A short, fast course. Lots of nice open woods, some thick heather and bracken. Hills too. Running first leg in a team with Alice, Mark and Liz. Just about kept the leaders in sight, though struggled on the climbs near the end. We ended up in first spot thanks to solid runs from the others.

An easy run with Tim along the bike path to Ganavan and back.
