Short Hard on Morris Rd map, set by Zoe. This time with compass:). Really fun, as hadn't got to use the map last year when everyone else did. Interesting to see how it has been mapped, seems to be some weird things with contours at times suggesting not much of a hill when in fact it feels quite big on the ground when there. Possibly just my lack of hill legs telling of course. Rocks plentiful, both mapped and unmapped. Luckily was burnt, would be tricky foot work if it wasn't. E slept for most of course and we took no stops apart from quick punching and getting water at the water controls. Collected a cup at the first and carried it down my top thereafter for quick access:).

Took E in the backpack on the long course at Katherine, which started from the show grounds, messed around in the adjacent bush a bit before crossing over to Hot Springs, and finished with a bit more bush and then the show grounds themselves. Was a bit of a slow day in general, not feeling great, the latest child care bug comes complete with headache, neck ache, back ache, sweats, chills and a ridiculous sore throat. Oh to be healthy again ! Anyway, E slept for a good part as I plodded along in the waist high grass and weaved around the shrubby trees, tolerated several bumps and ducking in the riparian bit near the springs, and finally got the grumps near the caravan park so we had a little drinks break. Got going again, she was much happier after hat removal. Turned into a nice ish evening, so much cooler than in Darwin.

To Eva's, a loop of Little and Big Mindils with Em, Nerida and bubs, then home after coffee at Eva's. Had E in back pack as using all walking opportunities to train for rogaine with Anna next weekend, with babies attached.

To work.

With Emily and with E in backpack while Lachlan and Duncan were at running. From Dripstone to Pizza Capers in Jingili:). You can guess the rest!
