Training at Mount Tarrengower - mostly a pairs relocation exercise, followed by a downhill control picking course at the end. For the relocation exercise I was teamed up with Adrian (Lian's partner) - a pretty inexperienced orienteer, who was good at getting himself between controls but still struggling a bit with the fine navigation part of the exercise, which meant we spent a bit more time standing around than might otherwise have been the case. It was therefore difficult to gauge this in physical terms but good to get a bit more time on a map, and in the terrain, into me before Easter.

One thing I noticed was a lack of confidence running across sloping bare rock, even though it was dry - perhaps there are still a few mental scars from the big crash I had at Radford.
