Tothill is a steep and scenic map - not the best place to go for a run when it has just been raining and all the mossy slopes and rocks are really slippery. After I stacked it by slipping on an innocuous but treacherous twig I became so cautious I was nearly crawling. Then I stopped to help a "lost" kid, then I stopped to help Jeffa whose back was playing up. So I took a while....the course & map weren't that difficult; Peter K had done his best to avoid climb, and found decent attack points, and the flowering blackboy/yacka bushes were pretty.

It's been ages since we've had a weekend actually staying in Burra at Paxton Square Cottages. First we went to the pub for dinner (pretty decent pasta) then we went for a walk down the cemetery by starlight, then we found a couple of nearby caches - all good fun. Squeezed 6 people into a 1-bedroom cottage and squeezed Lauren on to a very short sofa. I'm sure it was on a junior training camp in about 1992 (?) that we fitted 16 people in two cottages. May have to break that record some time...

Pros: seing friends, being in Belair
Cons: can't see anything outside a 2m circle of torchlight and really painful ankle where I had taped too tightly
We scared a few kangaroos but Simon scared Lauren & Zara better.

Glad I didn't go out and do hills last night, as I was pretty sluggish on the uphills this morning anyway. Nice to get some fresh air though, and to stretch properly afterwards. Could do with more sleep so that is this week's project.

Before Wallaringa meeting. It was dark, my knee hurt and I needed to pee....

Too cold and wet at Woodhouse to contemplate running round any potental courses for the club relays.
