Wye Valley Forest.
BLack, wasn't entirlery sure what to expect due to some negative views in the carpark. enjoyed the first 13 fairly rough, but whiter than mapped. couple of small misses, but nothing major, conservative on #12 were i remember the map was dodgy last time. enjoyed the scandi style 13 ->14 -> 15 where the houses and forest are at one. nice runnable steep slopes. 21 ended up being too low and map not right in circle. then it was just a slog back. Compelty knackered. Enjoyable sunny day.
Whilst I like to see high standard international events, the recent problems on the Iberian peninsula has resurfaced scandi superemcy talk.
Do scandis relally want to have a stagnet sport that is only done in Sweden & Finland?
Intresting to here that Finnish WOC2013 made a 200k loss... seems like a bit of a cockup to me.
Run1:27:00 [3] 14.1 km (6:10 / km) shoes: Roclite 295
Mon run Mendips, Mark x2, Matt x1 & duncan. Was like an old school mon night run of britton/hartley/franklin era. Did my Mendipish route. Varying pace, and me hanging on. Felt like the old days.
then Mark2 got very very lost on the way to the pub, I'ts rumoured he relocated off Lulsgate airport.
