7.588km with 314m climb in 0:59:15. southern night champs. Reasonable run if not excessively fast spoiled a bit by 3 minute loss at 15 should of been more carefully or gone to the clear attack point I eventually relocated to. Rather fortunate at 3 as was not on the track I thought about to head off into totally the wrong block when an unexpected junction set me right good attacking from there. Lots of squadies to overtake as on main army course.

6.586km with 382m climb in 0:63:32. Hoc WEE event Walton Hill next to Clent hills. Rather rushed to get there by 7 for last start. A course with a 1 hour time limit so you miss checkpoints to get in in time. Just set off to get all. A hilly area with a few too many brambles but some nice bits. A few wobbles but nothing big. Had phone on 2 hour score after weekend an did not realise till the hour was up coming out of second to last still got last one anyway as on route. Tweaked ankle may need to tape it up for Saturday.

37.235km with 698m climb in 2:08:08. 2 hour mtbo score from upper soudley. Taking in mallards pike, cannop ponds, mosley green, blakeneyand the bits north of soudley which has not been used for o for a long time. Plan was to go anti clockwise doing the flatter northern half first and leaving the hilly north east corner for last if time allowed.

23 to start then back for long road route up via 1 for the high point at 19. Lost a couple of minutes in unmarked dead end road at 3 before the one I needed. Across to 6 and back for 20 were more time lost as read as gate post and as no sight of gate went up top of slag heap before looking again. 5 then 8 sketchy descent for 18, fast through 17, 7, 4, 16, climb up for 22 around to 15. Now the tricky drop from top track to bottom in Mosley green. Carried along top track looking for 2nd track down but not there on the ground. Kept going along and down to bend beyond cp so had to go back. Decision time as less then 10 mins left as I hit road. Went for it as 40 points meant 16 minutes late too loose them all. Road climb through Blakely hill for 14 then hard climb over the top with time expiring for 21. Messed up around buildings but eventually on track for fast drop to finish. 8 mintes late so 27 too the good for the hard finish.

A comfortable win in the end need to make sure I do enough for the winter league.
