Each would have cost a minute so 5minutes easy errors. Not enough bearings!

Orienteering race 1:15:00 [3]

Whitbarrow Level B. Late, late night at Charmians' 50th plus early morning plus making a mistake at #1 and then falling over and gashing my right hand. After licking the blood away for a couple of minutes decided the kids would probably tell me to "man up" so trundled off up the slope towards #2. Pete Haines passed me and gradually pulled away and was running with Graham Watson for a bit. Then took alternate route into limestone forest, got stuck, Jon Carberry caught me and ran with him until near the end when I pulled aay a bit. Just didn't ant to be there!
