YHJS training at West Haigh. I did control hanging on the new bit - mostly chest high grass and thistles or head high bracken. Very slow, very hard work and some fairly tenuous control sites. All of the juniors failed to find one of my controls. Draw your own conclusions.

Pinhaw Beacon, Standrise, Carleton, Ramshaw, Lothersdale, Pinhaw Beacon. Same as last week, only doing it properly. Still didn't find the path across the ravine but made sure I erred on the high side rather than the low side. Running ok.
St Chad's, Queenswood, Batcliffe Wood. Couldn't get from St Chad's into Church Wood because the gate has been locked. It looks like they are building a mega-duckboard through the woods and the gate is locked while work is in progress. I had no choice but to go round the road into Carnegie, then cut off short in Batcliffe Wood to get back in time for the football.
