rest day
bit of a walk with S & E at Finzean - lovely riverside woodland, real wild feel.

Rest day, chesty cough still there, but getting better.

rest day - trying to get rid of bad chest.

rest day - throat/chest still bothering me, rest now till its completely cleared up.

surveying 6 hours - still feeling a bit poorly.

short warm-up

DNC Scolty - course was brutal and unimaginative - up and over Scolty Hill and back down with just a short loop in nice forest to finish - just as well gales started later in night!
Mis-punched first control - apparently the event theme was "check your codes" - shame the planner didn't tell anyone. 1st and 6th controls had 2 boulders close together with controls......... I was on straight line to first control then saw a marker 20m to my left, assumed my bearing was slightly off and went to it, didn't check code (my mistake) and went on.
Slightly unfair as any carload that had long and short course runners would have seen both different controls and been pre-warned.....

Surveying 7 hours - bad chest

Took things easy as chest not good.

A bit of running round at schools athletics club.
