Definitely been doing too much BTS and not enough orienteering judging by the fact I turned up with only a set of runners..... Scampered around the car park hoping someone had some spare shoes with them. Thankfully PeterG had the hand-me-down junior pair which are only marginally too small :)

NICS 4 Binevenagh. So much climb! Good courses though - I was lulled into a false sense of security after nailing pretty much everything on the open mountain (slight miss on 7) but once we got into the woods it was like I had forgotten how to orienteer... binned 8 mins on 10 due to turning in waay to early and then getting confused. Dropped another 4 mins on 12 just being an idiot and again stopping short. Then lost another 8 mins or so on 16. I have no idea what happened but I eventually found a yellow course control and followed the red and white tapes in the hopes it would lead me to somewhere to relocate and they led me to the control :)

Blisters started around 15 which made the last section a bit more painful
