| Larchant, partie nord
Prébalisant for a club race next week. Lovely place. Couple of distortions in the map up north... perhaps because the map was au 5000ème Then jogging/walking/running for 2.2 km above la Dame Jouanne... tried doing it fairly cleanly, but also stopped to havea real think when I had trouble understanding the map, esp on the big rocky slopes near the big cliffs Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

| Rocher des Demoiselles
Fontainebleau What balls... chose this area as had a nice technical middle distance course on it... and I wanted a smooth control-picking exercise in a technical area... but just spent time scratching my head thinking what balls the map was. Gave up after four controls to go somewhere with a better map... Met some people doing some interesting things that I can't write about in public... | ||

| Rocher Salamandre
Fontainebleau Went to the next map along where I did some real orienteering... slow but fun as the map made sense most of the time... the mapper had to do a lot of selection - sometimes being a distinctive boulder meant at least 8*8*8m ... but here it made sense. It was great. I was a bit tired as by now it was after 3 and I hadn't eaten the biggest of breakfasts... | ||

| Mer de Sable,
Poligny Took advantage of staying in Villiers-sur-Grez to go for a wee spin down the other side of Nemours to one of my favourite maps in the region, complete with it's very own sea of sand. I have memories of running in the place in May in blazing sunshine and temperatures well into the thirties; today was very temperate, maybe 15°... fine for jogging around in. Took it v easy as my tendony thing is still a bit sore. It seems like it is better after jogging today than it was after racing yesterday. Ran without a compass. Nice technical area, a good bit of interpretation to be done is places but the map is good. | ||

Fontainebleau Circuit A (sans chemins) Nice to be running a race in Bleau again, even if it wasn't the most technical. Doing it without paths made it a little more interesting, not sure that the map was quite good enough for it to be fair though... not that it was especially bad... Lost time on: 3 - 20s - a little further right than necessary, but this to avoid darker green... mapping of veg here wasn't detailed 8 - almost 2 minutes, this control was nice. Run on a bearing into mid-green forest for 200m looking for semi-open land with a depression... the mid-green had perpendicular stripes of white through it with good visibility... and I spot a large open area to my left... since there aren't any others mapped, run up a stipe into it, have a scout around, nothing... didn't have the form-line topography it should have had either, so I guessed pretty quickly it wasn't there, but it would have been nice were it mapped... then going back to find the control I managed, but only because the forest became light green (unmapped) with good visibility... and in the end the semi-open was just forest... gah 9 - 10s, slightly left 19 - 1:30 control was just on the other side of the interesting (boulder-strewn) ridge... I'd like to go back and check whether the map was well-distorted here or If I was just stupid... 20 - 5s hesitations stupido 24 - 10s checking the other side of the wrong boulder... doh 26 - 20s being stupid... | ||
