Inverurie. Not particularly inspired tonight. Not sure if related to personnel present or cold, which seems to be getting worse...

GRAMP Back o'Bennachie
Just down the road from where I'm working / used to stay in 2011. Run on the paths round here but never in the woods (which at first sight look lovely).
It was rough. Very rough. And wet.
Generally clean, but it was hard to get any sort of speed up for fear of injury. Had some company after catching a guy mid course.
Course also crossed a fairly innocent looking valley on the map, which was in actuality a near vertical ravine! (Only slight exaggeration)...
Bit of a sore throat developing but not overly exerting myself here.

Note
Finished 11th overall which almost achieved my (fairly arbitrary) top ten aim.

Evidently I need more speed, so begun training by playing lots of music and exploring the drainage channels around Mallards Pike / Danby Lodge :)

Croeso Day 5 Margam Country Park 'Middle'
Distinctly uninspiring area; ok for a local event but not really good enough for the annual multiday. Also billed as a middle but I was out for longer than I was yesterday... Bumbled around making more errors than strictly necessary.
#1 Tried to read contour and rock detail but struggled. Relocated from control on boulder beyond. Should have simplified more and attacked from below perhaps [120]
#4 Caught here by Romualdas; unlike day 1 he soon was off into the distance...
#11 Overshot crag. Route round to east arguably better anyway [30]
#15 Searching in virgin bracken [20] Re-caught by Romualdas here (!) but took different routes to next control...
#16 Path down slope was slow, windy and overgrown. Route into control also convoluted. Romualdas' route far better (he had fastest split, d'oh!) [90]
#18 Got stuck in grot leaving control [30]
#19 Read wrong description so looking on wrong side of bush wondering why the flag wasn't there... [40]
17th; 20mins down on JamieP.
