Up to the start and then an explore around an old reservoir and through some quite wild feeling houses and shacks. Not a community that takes pride in aesthetics.

Cwm Lickey, Welsh League, Brown, 7.9km, 375m, 23 controls.
Compass Sport Cup for everyone else but just a Welsh League for me. Enjoyed the course, it was physical but that's hard to avoid on such a steep area, but there were plenty of changes in direction, little path running and even a route choice.
Ran reasonably well and keep going on all but the steepest hills. Hit all the controls, losing just a few seconds in a couple of places by not taking an ideal line or bananaing a little. Expecting to be closer to Ben than last week but not ahead of him.

Very slow and easy back along the track to download. Remote finishes are great for enforcing a warm down!

Back up the hill to collect the far and high controls. Legs feeling better than expected, calf fine (as it has been all day) although my back didn't like the uphill (muscle hurting again) and my ankle didn't like the run down the fields at the end.
