Difrferent terrain again - low visibility and larger karst features - not any easier - a lot of broken rock and very slow terrain in many parts. Blew number 1 again! Ankle still swollen but tolerable although not the greatest terrain for dodgey bodies.

Much more straightforward terrain with limited rock but lots of steep hills and valleys, just across the forest road from day 1 and 2. Much faster as a consequence.

Ankle had swollen considerably overnight and might have been sensible not to run, but went for my map and then walk/jogged round - in actual fact ran the first three and then missed at four and jogged the rest. Ankle was tolerable - don't know if I did it any good though.

Another tough hot day in the same terrain as the previous. Missed badly at one and never really got going. Crocked my ankle heading for 11 but seemed to run it off after a minute or so. Not yet worked out the way to run this stuff - some long times today. Amazing to think it was only 4 km.

Event: OO.cup/09
 

Blew it at 13! Well in control (apart from overshooting 2 and ending up at 3) through 12 and then missed depression slightly and couldnt understand it, kept coming back to same place. Finally found it in next depression over. Lost 12 minutes ish.. Pleased with the way I was orienteering generally in the very tough terrain. Slightly frustrated though as certainly could have run sub 45..won in 38 I think. Good to see so many Brits..mostly having the same sort of problems.

Very warm again.

More walking or more like wandering today in a variety of places. Hot...>30.

Another great day. Took cable car up to Ski Hotel above lake at Bohinj and then went up Mt Vogel. Amazing scenery, wild flowers and rock formations. Another good day. Bob and Ken were there tooo..didnt see them though.
Out for 4 hrs 30...

6 hours of walking above Bled and Bohinj in Julian Alps. Cracking views and a cracking days walk.
