Fantastic winters day, sunny, ground frozen (hence not muddy), felt like I was on the continent. Pity england is not always like this.
Run round ashton court, struggled a bit, think very slight unwell.

Event: WNL 5 Beechenhurst (east)
 

Western night league - 1 hour score
New beechenhurst - FoD

Had a few issues during this event
*started and couldn't work out what was going in (particuarly the large open field i was in), ran to where everyone else had gone, got to control (no control codes) still couldn't work out where i was, before unfolding the map to reveal an additional start triangle....
*Couldn't find 17, eventually found it in the wrong place, Then attacked 18 from a point where i didn't know where i was, and that was also wrong... (as was 23, but that didn't affect me by luck)
*then on going into 14 (for the second time - whoops score events :( ) I smashed my compass into hand and ground, and got up to find a stuck needle and wet and bloody hand. So after putting compass away (2/3 way round), had a problem on 15 after getting disorientated.
So skipped 5 and was a bit late. Fun enough, nice cold scandi style night with frozen gorund, but pissed off a broke a quite new £60 compass (a first for me)
compass makes things easier at night.
So reasonble confident that if the above hadn't happened would've been all in the hour. had some small misses on ones correctly located, particuarly 8. Nothing to tricky going on though, with controls mostly be linear features.

Got out of germany early
Circuits. Tough round, some similar exercises adjacent. Very random botany game afterwards.

Run from hotel in Cologne in Wahnheide to Spich on cycle path. My first early morning run in a long time, due to working evenings.
