Northern Champs.
Amazingly Steve Richards looks to "just" have heavy bruising.

Spent all afternoon around Bigland Caravan Park sorting for tomorrow's Northern Champs.

British Night Champs - Great Tower.
Faffing at start with head torch and cap in drifting misty rain. Torch & cap were not a winning combination so ditched cap at #1. Still not focussed and missed #2 - then ok for a few controls until first leg into the lost slope at #7 and into the wrong channel and missed by 4 minutes or so.
Sorted #8, missed #9 and on the way to #10 heard Steve Richards have a fall. Stopped to help and then walked him very slowly back in - probably broken ribs.

2br; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 8cr(pb); 2br - 1050m.
Left shoulder sore towards end.

Easy run down to Ropewalk and back via Swimming Pool.

Ulverston Pool - 25m.
2br; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 8cr(pb); 2br - 1050m.
Left shoulder sore towards end.

Out over Birkrigg, Scales, Gleaston motorway & Urswicks. Windy & overcast - steady ride.

Out from Heversham with Old Gits. Started at the back but immense confusion as usual at start so was led into a reverse loop. Ended up running most of the way with Isobel Williamson.

Ulverston Pool - 25m.
2br; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 8cr(pb); 8cr; 2br - 850m.
Left shoulder sore towards end.

Easy with Selwyn from The Hawk around Broughton Forest. Break in the rain!
