FVO Night Race, Sauchie Crags.
Well, this forest is a bit wrecked. Which is gutting. I still had great fun though; random ming adding to the adventure and unpredictability.
Things didn't look too good on the way to 1, where I was a bit slow setting off and then got a bit caught up in windblow. So did everyone else though and I popped out just as Nixon was going past. I passed Steve Nic on the track - a recurring theme - as Doug passed me. Round 2, 3, 4 I was pretty much in touch and joined by Grump. Up the hill to 5 the first two got away, but I was still with Forest and Hector until I buggered up 6 by being way too low. Got there at the same time as Jon, but he had to tie his shoelaces.... By 8 I was passing the Russian lassie and Steve Nic again, by 9 Steve was back in front as I got stuck. Rog joined us here momentarily, not realising we'd already got it, but we all got together again at 11, which was, eh, nicely tucked away. Hector got bored looking but the rest of us got it together and there was a group of five round the last few controls. Forest ran into a fence, I got ahead and then pathetically stuck in a very small bit of windblow and was quite far behind. Managed to catch up with Rog before we entered fallen trees I thought we may never get out of.... Luckily I found a wee gap and we made it home unscathed. Didn't fancy collecting controls mind. Eventful race!
