walking. BOF training on Ilkley Moor (morning session on lower slope above village)

5 x 0.4k(ish) courses focusing on direction and distance. 3-4 legs on totally blank map. Only got control distraction for a rough picture. I found it much easier than i thought, walking defo helped, most retired to walking any way.

second part was 2x control circle only window courses (1.1km) really fun, Sighting was really important! Sometimes i got lazy and just didn't bother sighting and every time i did this it went wrong. Focused on Getting strong picture of control circle. C4 on course B went really well, straight on my bearing with good sighting diagonally up hill. :)

C • weekend 1

Afternoon session top of Ilkley moor - CRAGS! Picture map memory course. No map to take round. only Small snippet of next leg at each control. Proved hard as i was walking and on some on the longer legs by the time i was getting near i had forgotten control circle. extreme simplifying - shows you how little you actually need and how a lot of details are unnecessary and just over complicate/slow things down.

Bailed out of doing second course as feeling very ill with ongoing chest/sinus infection - hot chocolate instead
