Orienteering 2:05:57 14.09 km (8:56 / km) +284m 8:07 / km
ahr:164 max:184
This was a lot of fun! Post kindord 10km helping, so well fuelled on cake and soup. BNC M21 course.
Stayed off the paths unless it was really pointless not to. #1/2 focusing on the big shapes to simplify the complex detail, spiked. #3 bit confused with control circle, dont know if i was in the right depression. #6 too far east, tried to follow the slope but wasnt on my compass. #8,9,10,11 were in one of the nicest section of muir of dinnet, big ridges shapes, easy into all of them. #12 fell waist deep into an unmapped bog. Faffed about in control circle but eventually got there. Straight most of the way to #13, hitting the top path along the burn o vat and following it up to the top and in from there. #15 took easy option straight down the burn to the vat. Bracken made next few controls extremely slow moving. Nice little control pick section though. #19 took a detour up onto the hill to take in the view at golden hour, also nice wee throw back to my Advanced H mapping project, so many hours spent up there lol. #20 too low but easy fix up the re entrant. Last few in the moraine type bit was more bracken bashing and very wet but took nice lines along the eskers and ticking of shapes either side. Thouroughly enjoyed this, needed a big technical O session.
