At the start at Balmoral after duties...also did an unexpected deployment of 6 warmup controls at short notice.

Very mixed emotions.
Disgusted, disappointed and delighted.
Slow but steady through 1, binned 3 mins being too high at 2 and relocating of the veg change ...visited "Ds boulder" 80m away. Nicely through 3 and then took 9 mins on a leg of 150m. Couldn't work out the crags and eventually went back to 3.
12 mins down already.
4-18 and to finish only just another 30s lost at 10 pretty much. Running strongly and only lost another 1 mins and a half to Bilbo. 4 fastest splits and I'll take that. No one else quicker.
So disastrous start but managed to put it behind me for the remainder.....but I do hate green dots. Knolls or trees they are all the same to me.
A confidence booster in a very funny sort of way.

Rather felt for D with his Boulder.

Loop in Potties. Somewhat dreich.
Feeling good.

A day of traipsing round RD17 assemblies and car parks with CM. Five days covered and some cracking spots visited. Even managed to be in the car between days when the deluge came. Good day and only Glen Tanar not done.
Nice chat with AlanS at the Feardar cottage.

Intended the sprint at Tilquhillie but got caught up in more grass seeding and couldn't summon the energy to go out late on. Wanted to try out Andy's course having had a sneak preview....comment opportunity in advance.

Needed a long one. Needed some good technical stuff before the weekend so doubled up and did both. Dug out an old classic length night course. Did most of it. Tough it was too.

Lots of wood stacking post Tio. The viewing of the latter a whole lot of fun as always.
