Askham Fell, CSC Round. Blue course with Quentin starting 4 mins after me. Two long uphill legs to start - I managed to catch my 2 minute man at the first control but Q caught me at #2. Made a slight mistake in the circle and he was away and although saw him exit #3 and approach #4 that was the last I saw of him. Took lots of compass bearings and felt I wasn't running too badly although tired on last big climb into #8. Map strange around penultimate control - cost me 30secs but others many minutes. Clear blue skies with lots of sunshine although cold. Lakeland won and qualified for Final on Sept 30th.

Ulverston on A590 to Backbarrow - past Motor museum - dual track to Newby Bridge and then cycle paths to High Newton. Drop form to Derek.

High Newton, Wood Broughton, Bigland, Low Wood & Haverthwaite back in along A590 to Ulverston.

Decided needed a harder session. Out with Will and Adam. Usual Bigland/Haverthwaite loop around footpaths. Adam suffering with a sore throat and having to stop regularly on first big climb to Bigland tarn - cut some corners for him. Will n I did full route but lots of stops. Hope to aim for sub-65 on a continuous session . . . maybe next time?

Bumbling around Stony Hazel in the sunshine putting out mini-kites. Then realised I'd missed one control so ran a second smaller loop a bit quicker.
Felt lethargic.

Out with SWJS & WJS in Hazel Seat, Graythwaite. Shadowed Daisy around a line course. Then out on relocation exercise. Slow and steady on the contours. Florrie n Will came out - Florrie turned her ankle. Nice morning.

SWJS & WJS training in Bishop Woods. Adam n Will came out. Nice running in snow. Shadowed a couple of the SWJS juniors.
