Orienteering - Featherbeds. Glorious day to be running in the hills. The course was fun, silly miss at no.3, otherwise good until no.13 where I joined a loose committee which managed to collectively run off the map & elsewhere, 4 or 5 mins gone! Legs were getting very heavy for the last half hour.

Blue - Splits

Cycled Rostrevor with the TNBs, decided on the Red Trail. The long uphill was actually fine after the first steep road section. Took a diversion to the top of Slieve Martin, and met someone who told us about some great less-official trails, so we followed him down one, a traverse across the last section of last years MMM then a terrific swoop down to Ballyedmond Wood. It was worth the climb back up.
Lunch on Sl Martin then took the Red Trail down. Rather a lot of up-and-down rocky stuff for me, but the last stretch was gorgeous. Most un-October-like weather, sunny & warm.
