Training Log: Peds

hrv:8.1

Went along to the last 45mins of cricket training to bowl as fast as I could and burn off a little of the sprint scotland stress.

hrv:8.8

Various commuting that felt big enough to log. Haymarket, (Markinch), Caskieberran, Collydean, Caskieberran (again), Markinch, home.

hrv:8.2

Burnley urban on the map I made a few months ago. Started 3mins behind dad and caught him about halfway round. Was getting away until we had a control on one side of an uncrossable fence with the circle centred on it. I'd lent my description holder to dad and just went to the near side, whilst wondering why the planner had given us such a boring leg. Whoops! After that we had an unusual route choice of choosing between the route to the start and going back through the finish and run-in. I went for the route to the start. All good fun though on a nice sunny day.

Map seemed good except one bit where we had a control on a tree in a grassy park, and mysteriously the grass was mapped as tarmac. Whoops!

hrv:8.6

Hanging controls in Hebden and Mytholmroyd for the sprint rally I planned. Format went down pretty well, as did the courses, except the steep bit of forest I didn't expect the W75s to be doing, and the people who got confused by the artificial barriers. Hey ho.

Lap of the moor with Dad, nice and easy.

9.5hrs mapping Stannington (Sheffield). Good stuff, great area! Some challenging mapping, lots of small fiddly bits (is there a minimum height of an underpass? 5ft?). Pretty nice sunny day with the odd short hail shower, was decently efficient and got it done.
