Jog to start. Didn't get lost this time.

Lakes Reloaded Long, Graythwaite, Women's Course (7.2 km, 395 m) in 138:08 (official). Slow and solid with wobbles at 6 and 7, a big miss at the second visit to the butterly loop control 8 (which was also control 4 and 12) when I went to the Men's control (on a near identical feature with a near identical code) and then spent 7 minutes before coming back to the nearby Women's control, and 18 (when Thomas caught me and we were both too low). A physically tough workout on a gloriously sunny Sunday.

Getting very lost on the way to the start in the rain (I wasn't the only one to do this!).

Lakes Reloaded Middle, Rusland Beeches, Men's Course (5.0 km, 195 m) in 67:25. Physically tough and technical race on a steep and rocky area. Small misses at 12, 15 and 21 but otherwise fairly navigationally solid (if rather slow) on a rainy day. Great to be out "racing" at a proper orienteering event again.

Resting up ahead of a big weekend.

Bearsden to Milngavie to Strathblane to Killearn and back via Mugdock starting in bright sunshine but pretty cold and tired by the end. Stopped briefly for a (socially-distanced) chat with Val and Mark in Blanefield.

Not-the-CLYDE-run: anticlockwise loop of Mugdock mountain bike trails north of the road with Dave and Ian. Very slippery underfoot after the recent rain, so road shoes were a spectacularly poor choice of footwear.

Bearsden to Torrence then Baldernock, Mugdock and Milngavie in the gathering gloom.

Two easy Munros in the mist at Glenshee with R and T.

Repeat of Friday's loop in the gathering gloom.
