O'Donneltown Rock East.
Training Day organised by Josh Blatchford. Thanks Josh!
Skipped parkrun as didn't think I could fit it all in ... plus brought someone with me and timing / pickup would have been an issue.
Brought a total novice (never seen a map, never used a compass, never attended an event) with me and walked the Easy Course.
Corridor exercise was a bit of an eye opener for me and made me think differently.
By the time we got up to the 7 Control line course at the end my newbie friend had got a better idea and almost got to all of them without any guidance.
They said they enjoyed themselves and may attend another event in future.
Not enough time remaining for me to do the Hard corridor course but I got the general idea anyway.
Skipped "Newcastle Cross Country" event in afternoon as was very tired and elected to instead attempt to continue to restore order after all the storm damage.
