This was a relay simulation, mass start, some gaffling, men had some extra controls to keep people together. I ran with a GoPro to get some footage maybe for WOC promotion. It was all a bit of an effort for me "BGR shuffle" pace, but fortunately some controls were down in depressions, and I could just skirt round the sides (to get the best video shots obviously). All good fun.

Spending the week in Inverness area helping control hanging etc. with the SEDS / GBR team on a training camp. Today was at Achilty, one of the WOC model areas. I hung half the loop and continued round the rest. Once you got up the hill it felt like a beautifully remote wilderness area, semi-open, fairly heavy going in the heather. The fastest bits were what were mapped with green undergrowth screen but were actually dead bracken.
