Late night and late morning. Nice day. Sunny and mild. Spent it indoors.

Afternoon run with Tom Edwards from Knaresborough, very easy and just to get the legs moving really. Up for Jonny’s stag, so late night last night followed by golf at Crimple Valley this morning. First effort at golf, it is not going feature highly in my activity schedule in the feature – 111 for 9 holes (and there weren’t any obstacles in the way either).

Long day travelling back from West Cork and straight up to Knaresborough for Jonny’s Stag. Well tired from the week in the hills so happy to have a day doing nothing energetic.

Long week mapping in West Cork for next year’s Shamrock (4.30 hours today). Beautiful terrain; open and runnable with plenty of detail. Rather void of fauna though; in 55 hours on the mountain I saw 1 rabbit, 2 hares and a herd of wild goats. No sheep, not a single one, what has happened to all the EU grants that kept the sheep farmers in business? Maybe I shouldn’t say anymore though, I don’t want to put all the Welsh off travelling to next year’s event...

7.15 mapping today. Getting tired. 4.15 drawing.

8 hours mapping, 4 drawing. Beautiful day.

9.00 mapping and 5 drawing. Very long day.
