Orienteering (Llangattock) 1:13:40 [3] 9.36 km (7:52 / km) +310m 6:45 / km
slept:5.0 weight:74.8kg shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Red/Blue
SWOC local at Llangattock. Unfortunately no 11k course after all today - longest was 7.9km.
Slow pace as ankles delicate and knees suffering from Malvern - and sometimes taking interesting routes over fastest.
2 mins lost on 6 - wasn't far away but didn't see pit in bracken. Bits of time loss on long leg as was bit further north than I expected, and detoured via the mis-placed "extra" control to confirm it wasn't just put very wrong. Saw it had no punch so looked around a bit before going to correct location about 100 yards away and finding control with punch. Tussocks were slow going.
1 min at 9 as lining up off wrong rocks. 2 mins on 10 as expecting a hill rather than a hole - realised when I saw a hole that didn't appear to be on my map.
Path up to 12 a bit funny - not as mapped.
Nice to get a terrain "run" in - even if legs weren't in it today.
