Orienteering race 1:12:58 [3] 8.6 mi (8:29 / mi)
Binning Wood SoSoL.
Time and the weather have not been kind to this area, and despite excellent planning to stay in the nice bits and focus on route choice it was still wet, cold, tough, wet and cold.
Funny run, lost 2mins on 1 (wrong track) and 2 (futzing in rhodos). plodding glumly, then got into it a bit before another 4-5 mins at 12. We'd been warned at the start that it was a bit greener around the control than the map showed. What they didn't say was that was because the flag was in the wrong place. Ho hum.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [2] 7.0 mi (8:34 / mi)
FWTN Buckstone.
Late decision to go, didn't have the big torch. Got about 200m before realising it was petzl pointless. Replanned a course in the streetlights checking out a few bits of googlemapping.
Launch of the new ISSOM map seemed to be well received - maybe 50% brown is too dark for streets. A small extension onto Mortonhall golf course gives much better angles for the inevitable run round the woods. Good planning by Alice Leake.
