OK so it may not be a 5* rating for everyone else but I found it chuffing difficult.

Awful awful awful run. Do not no why I have entered JK and BOC because I can not orienteer. I have go backwards. Was better when I first picked up a map I reckon.

20 mins to #1. Awful. Every other course had control 124 and I found that one alright but I wanted 120 could I find it?. well yes eventually but because another girl yelled to help. Also I didn't have 124 on my map so couldn't even use that to locate off. There was 3 depressions marked on the map in this area and I could spot over 10.

I just am really struggling to comprehend the relationship between map and ground. I do use all the techniques I've learnt and when I just can't find it at all I just go back to a definite feature and take a bearing and walk it. And pretty much everytime I get it bang on.

#8 I made a 90 error. was really stupid that was a silly mistake

#10 I got distracted by Mountain bikers and hate looking lost in the forest so ended up getting more lost though did find this one with a bit of help. #11 walked with a bearing to this one but wasn't confident enough so clare from durham found it first. Crappy brambles everywhere.

#12. nightmare. should have been off the path. was ticking everything off on the map knew exactly where I was couldn't see it anywhere. so went to end of path where fence was measured the distance and strided it out went perpendicular to the path. bingo control. mega slow. Up the hill shouted at clare to say it was below where we were. We were swapping places all round the course but she started much later than me.

Run in. Wooooooo I got fastest lady's sprint. Even beat all the Women's A too. So ShUOC would win in a sprint off. Hee hee beat lots of ShUOC boys too. Who knew I was as quick as Rocke and Treb.
