Coast road, Bardsea, Baycliff, Roosebeck & Roa roundabout and return. Freezing mist and hands very cold on way out. Steady out worked harder on return.

Stockbird Head. Put out last 4 controls for Helena Burrows. Then run around prospective relay loop - 15mins ish. Then check on one control location - then collect some controls. Nice in snow.

Bigland Night event. Ran around Blue course touching kites as I had checked them earlier. Didn't make much difference my orienteering was shockingly bad - different skills and strategies needed - came back after #11 of 19 and had taken 40mins to there.

Derek checked field and decided Bigland East had to be abandoned.
Helped him sort gear for night event.

Parked at bottom of Bigland. Walked up hill to parking field checking snow & ic conditions. Met Mike Atherton at top. Then ran through woods to North side to check controls for Dereks night event. Managed to have two bad misses on the steep slope in the daylight! Conditions still very icy.

Out withold gits from The Helm, Oxenholme. Around and about in the snow, running quite a bit with Roger Smith, chasing Dick Towler and Steve Buckley.

Out on Birkrigg with Florrie Dobson. Stop start but at least she was out.
