Orienteering - race 1:05:00 [3] 6.6 mi (9:51 / mi)
Tayside local event Craig a Barnes. Blue.
I was quite up for this which us just as well as we had dithered driving there in the snow and split starts were going to be a challenge.
1 - pretty straight. 2 - path, cut the corner to the crag in the green, up the re-entrant with the stream and straight on. Thought it was a bit weird near the control. 3 Straight-ish which was not optimum. 4 lovely. 5 straight ish. 6 went straight. It was shitty. 7 lovely, 8,9 ditto. 10 odd veg near the control. 11 fine, 12 odd. Two crags, one much bigger than the other, only one on the map, so it was hung on the bigger crag, though I thought the smaller was more right. Came out of 12 badly, but control was easy. 14 a bit of a fluke. 15 loads of crags on the ground. I think the control was on the spur, and should have been on the one that was mostly in the green. With the map being so inaccurate I wouldn't have wanted to hang this one. 16 too far left, 17, finish fine.
A great course, great area, great to get in the rough stuff in the snow. Thanks tayside! However, it really really needs a big investment to get a new map done.... Pleased with my running and my nav. It is like the bit in the top had been designed solely to flatter my orienteering style. Just loved it. I am totally becoming a terrain snob. Between here and the jk I have tulliallan and trossachs, that place south of avberfoyle that is probably quite shitty, then a weekend in aviemore. I am worried the chilterns won't have quite the same bite!
