YHJS training, Tarn Hows.

loop mostly on the fell to the south of the road, going into the woods for the last couple of controls. I was keeping an eye on a couple of the youngest girls but observing from the heights rather than shadowing them.

loop that started on the fell but mostly in the woods south of the road, just by myself and without paths on the map. Good.

control collecting in the woods to the north west of the tarn. Had to jog out onto the fell to sweep up one of the juniors who hadn't actually reached the contols that I was collecting. Started off a bit vaguely but got into it.

YHJS training.

Morning, Holme Fell. Shadowing Euan on an 'Attack Points' course on the fell, then a line by myself in the detailed semi-open woodland. Felt very much in control.

Afternoon, Tarn Hows Wood. Control Pick on a map with paths removed. Very much not in control, just couldn't get to grips with the map at all. I don't think 1:5000 scale was really helping but I was frequently off line and distance judgment was poor.

Headingley Hill, Kirkstall Hill and the Normans. Big effort to just beat the time I did a couple of weeks ago. Cold and breezy.

Weetwood and Lawnswood, 6 x 2 minutes. Flagging a bit but not bad.

Oxley, slow. Not feeling too bad but went wobbly at the end.
