Blakeholme loop from Northerns 2014.
Thick forest loop fine, but off line when trying to cope with bracken on long slope. Long slow climb back to crossing point.
Out along coast road to Bardsea, up past golf course towards Birkrigg Park. Dropped off Rachel and continued around reverse of usual Dendron/Gleaston/Scales loop.
ROC - Stage 6 - Another rainy day. Meant to be on WOC Middle area but wasn't - dissappointing.
Repeat of ROC Day 3 - course finished half way around and then path running through last 4 of 9 controls. Spiked them all but very tired after another bad nights sleep.
Rachel now gone down with Alex vomiting bug. Stayed at hut to look after her.
Sunny day and long race on best ROC area with good planning - :-( to miss it.
