Wee run round part of Graythwaite away from middle race area. Lovely wee paths, and the hills didn't feel to bad :-)

Cracking races the last couple of days - I think the score was planner 1, runner 0 today :-) Really technical with good route choice and tricky navigation, great races and superb reminder to any who haven't been keeping up the technical sessions of why they are orienteers!

All day at Graythwaite while race happened, lots of catching up with parents and some juniors (all socially distanced...)

Drive to Lakes and wait around in Windermere while race happened, then collected 5 controls on a 300m loop.

Dropped car at garage (emergency - bonnet release has jammed open... so bonnet relaying on back-up catch, not good for a planned trip to the Lakes tomorrow...) then ran home. Felt good despite it being 0800!
Last few days have been feeling better running than for a long time. Maybe fitness is returning or maybe getting over some lingering bug?

And back again to pick up car - all fixed :-) - so I don't need to tie the bonnet down.

Lots of arm weights, see what tomorrow brings :-)

Hanging tapes for E & EC in Glen Dye. Felt strong in terrain but very stop/start with tying tapes.
Then picked blaeberries.
Bha na mheanaibh cuileag ann. Bha iad direach sgrathail. :-)

Extended Dess Woods loop in the rain. Had planed to go later in afternoon but then checked the forecast so turned off the soup and went out at once - still pretty wet but better than later!
Surprisingly tired from it - though I did push the hills fairly hard, partly to get back quickly and out the wet.

More urban, getting there!
