Full Monday run, no fartlek but observatory hill etc etc.

Arthurs Seat. Wet and slippery, so much so it was impossible to push on (well, that and the large amount of whisky sank last night). Made a total dogs breakfast of the 10-control score at the start, then pretty clean apart from a thicket above St.Margarets. The height all seems screwy on that slope, which is a shame since otherwise Jegor's ISSOM map, updated by Rona and Crawford, is a masterpiece. Orienteering on a new map at 1:5000 is a completely different sport, with hidden controls and thickets suddenly fair. I cant image shrinking it by a factor of 3!
