on the moor above padley. Bearings OK, had to replace a kite in the correct place :P. Spent a bit of time fannying.

The wooded loop. Bit slow finding the controls at times, a few errors on short legs and trying to go the wrong side of an uncrossable wall. Otherwise not too bad but a bit slow.

Mass-start ungaffled relay practice. I was behind people most of the way, but was still navigating on my own, and it paid off. Lost a fair amount of time crossing fences/walls...
Treb lost most of us time on the way to 1, and walls lost everyone bits to 2+3. Made my move once ~200m behind treb (who was on a mission) - cars meant I had to run along the road a bit so decided to head through the lg, which gained myself and JT 150m and 5 places - up to 3rd just behind Kris. a few little wobbles from then on meant JT was with me, but I had him on the run-in, as well as Kris who went for the straight, flatter but rougher option.
so 2nd behind Treb, and I reckon I could have pushed a bit more :P
On current results I'm in the ShUOC first team - who the f**k are gg, ralph, shagger, camel, danger, abrams, shminty, beasant etc etc...
