Orienteering race 30:30 [4] 3.75 km (8:08 / km)
Middle Distance around Abbey Craig.
Lovely terrain, only physical problem that slowed me down was the steep climb throughout the course. Made one large error on #12 resulting in about 2mins loss. A parallel error between many things such as a path and reentrant. Here the scale of 1:4000 threw me off a bit so a thing to get used to.

Sprint around the housing estate in Rosyth. Good race overall, made most of the road crossings as a rest. I made no mistakes, only a few hesitations making some route choices. Didn't pick up my hired SIAC dibber, so this added on 2-3 secs per control. No problems with stitches or anything and pretty happy with my performance.

Absolute hell!! The area had impenetrable rhododendrons which several of our controls were in. Not much to learn from tonight other than go round next time! I found myself army crawling under roots and branches through a seemingly endless jungle. Some of the orienteering was nice & detailed though, at the beginning and towards the end coming down the diagonal slopes. Will I go back there in the summer? Nope (or only with a machete).
