on the beach at Woodstown, pre-breakfast. Lovely sunshine :)

uncovered some maps from the US in 2002... baileytown, blue mtn, great falls md, french creek, cortlandt park... happy days

to Woodstown (19mins) 4*2mins active recovery, 8 back

5*4mins
beach tailwind, beach headwind, uphill, net uphill, flatter (probably net uphill).
3:35, 3:53, 4:31, 4:17, 3:43 /km.

woah, wicked tired today and no excuses... must be fighting something... the plan was to do intervals in the CiteU, but that's not happening.

Paris is as amazingly Parisian as ever.

Back in orienteering heaven, aka Forêt de Fontainebleau (or perhaps Des Trois Pignons). 20 degrees and occasional sunshine, sand, pine trees and boulders galore.

First time running on the new areas mapped for last summer's three-day. Didn't understand half of it. Some parts would be better mapped at 1:5000...

Lots of British and German boulderers around.

Beautiful!

C • Fontainebleau aka Heaven 4

Inner cicle of heaven. THE ridge on the Petit Mont Chauvet map... and most of the O'Folie course planned by Sandra O. The map has been redrawn at 1:7500 and is a gem.

Glorious technical area. Lots of bumps and cliffs and loose stones after long-past small-scale quarrying. Plus boulders and ruins and caves and whatnot.

Yummmmmmmy

Nationale LD
Val Suzon, NW from Dijon.

Again with the dodgy legs, ran tentatively. Skipped controls 8 through 12. Not the most fun orienteering in the world. On the plus side it was raining. Time includes warm up.

Visited Châtillon sur Seine on the way up to Villiers sous Grez. It had some nice old (13/14th century) buildings and a rather impressive museum containing a vase.

Happy I chanced upon it.
