Control hanging for Chasers juniors on Harden Moor. Fab, tricky little area which was perfect for Hannah & Gemma (esp with a pathless map!!), but the dinkies found it too scrappy & difficult to keep in touch with the map.
The kids terrain running has improved after lots of zooming & racing around on the mounds :o)



It was the biggest doggy toilet area I've been to in a while, tho' :o(

Not sure if it's L glut of piriformis or something that's been niggling since York...

Control hanging on Kilnsey for the Chasers dinkies.
Struggled with the ups, but it was more than made up for by the area & views. Just a shame loads of the controls were only visited by me & Simon (collecting them) as a humungous hailing thunderstorm kept us in the tent playing charades for a good hour plus :o(



Loved it!!

Can also recommend Hill Top Barn bunkhouse in Malham (as can Kelvin, but more for its proximity to the Buck Inn & its beer!!).

Grrrrr, too many problems :o(
No 6 was in the wrong place.
No 14, hadn't spotted there were 3 paths rather than 2 and then made a parallel error (not the only one to do so)
No 15, got pulled onto the not so indistinct indistinct path then nothing made sense.
Still not sure about 16 - in white forest I would have stayed high, but with 2.5m contours & thick vegetation, I'm happy with my route, I think.
Should have been second or third.



The colours are deliberately yellows & reds as the greens would have been impossible to see on that map!!

A bit of an orange course, but the green wasn't as vicious as it looked, so some legs were a bit straighter. Just tried to have decent attack points & have confidence in the circle. There were a few very frustrated runners who kept overtaking me....
6/19, with no chance of getting onto the podium - not enough mistakes :o)
Almost pulled an hour out of Suze.
Group dinner in St Denis, followed by a gruop trip to the top of the lighthouse...
