For some reason, area renamed from Wombridge and The Cockshutt. Oh, maybe because that name was ridiculous.
Part urban, part forest. Went for trail shoes having no idea of the ratios; think reasonable choice as it was about half and half. Very muddy in the forest though and had to take sensible route choices whenever a slope was involved.
Good run 2:20 down on the lead when I left, in 2nd. Didn't do anything wrong, made safe choices which always paid off. Basically, exactly what orienteering should be, in control and knowing where I was the whole time. Couldn't ask for more really! Probably just meant it was a bit easy.
Felt to be running ok although a few R hs twinges.
Massive meal afterwards; battered black pudding with apple source, then black treacle-marinated steak served on volcanic rock, then slab of homemade lemon crush cheesecake. Splendid.
