Simpson Ground Galoppen - Blue course.
Despite cold felt I was running strongly early on, but managed to pass #3 and go to #4. Realised after I'd punched it so back to #3 and then #4 again. Only other control to give an issue was first one onto the moor where the terrain didn't fit my visualisation.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [2] 3.3 km (18:11 / km)
Veum.
Out for slow jog through lovely piece of woodland. Per had hung some red streamers for Danish National team to practice before Blodslitet. Nice course, but every time I reached the control circle it cost me 1-2 minutes to look hard at every tree to "see" red streamers - of course it was more difficult when I wasn't standing in exactly the right place :).

Orienteering race 2:31:12 [3] 12.7 km (11:54 / km) +400m 10:17 / km
Fredrikstad - Blodslitet.
Bread, jam & ibuprofen for breakfast. Not feeling at my best, but arrived at the start feeling okish.
My race was competitive for about the first 5mins before I followed the back of the H40 train over the spur that I didn't need to cross and found myself on wrong path. Corrected quickly but it cost 2mins and the pack were away & I'm 69th of 78 or so at #1. Across the first on two spurs towards #2 I discover that my compass is duff. I know I'm moving west but it continues to tell me I'm moving north. Bugger, only another 11.5km without a compass.
Pretty cautious after this trying to keep total map contact and only come unstuck a couple of times. After a couple of hours I did a big banana away from #18 and wasn't sure of my direction on a path on a bland spur. I asked a couple of people which way North was, thought great and carried on running only for reality to fight its way into my fuddled brain a minute later that with my map being folded I was actually running 180deg the wrong way. Corrected and only a 6minute error!
Very glad and very tired to finish.
Will only 5mins down in 20th (of 82) in H15/16. Angus only 15mins down in 36th.

Lanc Hot Pot - Hameldon.
After overnight in Barley Village Hall, took minibus to new area. Managed to misplace my magnification glasses which was a mistake as so many controls in detail quaried area - hard to read detail. A few lines through marsh ok, other times caught in bad tussocks. OKish but disapointed with speed through terrain.

Lanc Hot Pot weekend - Tockholes.
A mudfest - start triangle slightly wrong on the map so angle to #1 wrong and caught in glutinous bog. Hesitant into #2 and I was already 3mins lost. Speeded up after that and was running with Paul Chavasse for a few controls. Very cautious up and down muddy slopes rather than going for it. Was away from Paul for a few controls and then slow across a slope and he caught me again. Together through the dodgy "boulder clusters" (small stones on the floor) and into finish.
