Orienteering race 1:20:40 [3] 8.63 km (9:21 / km) +250m 8:10 / km

Alvie SOL blue course. 27th/52. Solid enough through to 16, with only minor misses at 3, 6, 10 and 12, and enjoying the terrain and the scenery. Then the whole run collapsed in amongst a block of mysterious greenery, as did Dad's run on short green.

Orienteering race 54:57 [3] 7.15 km (7:41 / km) +225m 6:38 / km

Middle Distance Blue Course Dunachtonmore. Steady until 7 but then too low at 8 wasting 2 mins, compounded by hasty aimless effort at 9 wasting another 2 mins. Some fun racing for the rest but a mediocre 48th/72.

Orienteering race 18:22 [3] 3.45 km (5:19 / km) +50m 4:58 / km

Kingussie Sprint. Clean run with reasonable route choices. 11th/26 MV. Scalps - Steve and Kenny. 9th overall in 2014 urban league, happy with that as the top 8 are all quality athletes.

Ceilidh dancing 30:00 [3] 2.0 km (15:00 / km)

At Kincraig

Orienteering race 1:09:24 [3] 6.88 km (10:05 / km) +245m 8:34 / km

SOL blue course at Craig a'Barns. Fairly clean round most of the course and spiked quite a lot of the controls but blew 5 mins on the long leg. Didn't like the look of anything straight or right so took a long path route to the left, but only decided this after some unecessary descent. So another average result.

Hill walking warm up/down 30:00 [1] 2.0 km (15:00 / km) +150m 10:55 / km

Hike to the start.

Orienteering race 41:22 [3] 5.49 km (7:32 / km)

Scottish Club Relay first leg. Disappointing ragged performance. Foolish route to 2 and lost the pack, faffed to 4 and 6, then lost 3 minutes muddled at #8. Overshot 11, tangled in nettles in and out of 12, thrashed through all sorts to 18 and almost ran up the wrong finish lane. 6th out of 14, ten mins down.

Orienteering race 17:35 [4] 3.08 km (5:43 / km) +55m 5:14 / km

British Sprints heat, Keele University. Clean run, only 10 seconds lost at the most. Very pleased to finish 3rd in my heat and qualify for the A-final for the first time.

Orienteering race 19:52 [3] 3.54 km (5:37 / km) +50m 5:15 / km

British sprint final. Did ok but lacking in pace and scrappier than the qualifier, made one main mistake losing about 25s with an unsmooth route. 13th place.
