Kirby Moor inner loop - 2 good hill climbs. First Gunson Height and then Out Park from Ghyll House Beck.
Very cloudy on top but no rain - dry as underfoot.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]

Out with Laura Brown on High Dam, revisiting the lines from #2 to #7.

Not only trying to show good lines but even with my slow speed showing that you don't have to run full gas to have good leg times.

Control Number / Original Split / Original Position / New Split / Equivalent Position
3 / 13:49 / 40th / 7:31 / 10th
4 / 22:12 / 43rd / 6:12 / 24th
5 / 3:56 / 18th / 3:31 / 11th
6 / 6:23 / 35th / 3:29 / 4th
7 / 6:38 / 30th / 3:37 / 7th

Net gain of about 28mins.

Also interesting to see the elephant tracks through the terrain.
