Going for a recovery run tonight so quite mellow and slow. Did a couple of miles first then tagged on to MarkG, JohnR, Neil and Kevin. Ended up going down jacob's ladder to Brocton Road then headed back with Mark.

Saw an owl(variant unknown) perched on a branch only about 3 metres off track going up to trig. Fine specimen.

Train of kids all nav'ing one control each to see how fast it could be done.
Seemed to flow well. Think they got the idea.

Orienteering race 1:26:26 [3] 6.5 mi (13:18 / mi) +420m 11:04 / mi
shoes: Inov8 X-talon 212 7 Or/Bk/Bu
More of the same all told except I oddly had two blokes following me for a bit before I dropped down to a path and legged it to lose them.
Had to help Stampy out with the last control. Schoolboy error he over shot it. Called him back but looks like he beat me by 14 minutes. I'll take that any day.
...I only do this to get Henry out the house and off the streets you know so would be stupid to just sit in the car while he gets lost on the light green.
Results. I came 8th out of 19 which makes a top half finish. On reflection this is unprecedented in my orienteering career ;-\ although I was still 10minutes adrift of Alistair powell and 15 behind Stampy. I enjoyed this area greatly and thought the name Nesscliffe had an air of familiarity. I did a MTB downhill race here in the mid 90's when downhill was a bit mellower than it is now. I remember vividly going over the bars near that part just to the side of the 40foot drop riding a GT LTS and wearing a motocross helmet.

Not recovered at all. Legs like lead but managed to get a half decent pace going. Just enough to scrape the win anyway.
Map needs some work for this area which would improve it greatly.
Went the long way around for #20, #14 and #5. There were paths cutting through to all these that weren't marked.
No chance of a full house. All except #1, #2, #3, #19 a possibility with mapping mods and a fit state.

What actually happened- Got woke up at 7:10 by Mrs Robertson from school asking if he was coming or not. oops. Said I'd have to take him myself. So that was my morning gone. Drive up to Leeds(beat the coach by 30 minutes), drop the boy off and drive back again.
He came the usual 4th (first loser) so turned out to be a worthwhile trip.
Another slow big block just to log something

On way back from Dungeness popped in to run this.
Thought I'd branch out a bit and keep my eye in by using an unfamiliar area.
Different format than Chasers night score. i.e. it wasn't score.
7.5 km long route, numbers on lamp posts to scribble on a strip of paper. 13 controls.
Too hesitant for everything. Could've been 5 - 10 mins quicker.
OK to get me out the door though.

Determined to give this one a good shot as this area should be easy for me but always turns out to be a frustrating disaster. Either stupid route choices, Over cooking it and coming back late..or going to the wrong tree.
Not perfect by any stretch as a few punches were a bit tricky to find. Mostly ones that should have been easy. Hazelstrine wood was good apart from rolling an ankle in dead mans drop, all straightforward - as was the other woods by the stock pond.
Felt like some decent route choices throughout, picking off controls that I knew could not be got on the way back.
The outlying number 6 control I thought would have got me back late so I left it. If I'd have found all controls without searching then a full house was easily doable. 37/38 which was pleasing.
