Wild B.O.A.R. #3

My second year doing the B.O.A.R. and as always it was a great time. With Euro-Leanne and Plastic-Mari on my team we had a great time for 4 hours playing in the woods around Bolton. We started from the back on the paddle, but were able to make up some places on the bike by following the map very carefully, I found on this section the most accurate way to navigate was to be careful of contours as we road. Onto the trek and all teams but one were together for the start. We hit A4 a bit off and didn't go far enough up one end of the river, we quickly decided to bail and move on not wanting to get cut off. CP15 also gave me a bit of trouble after I didn't read one of the valleys correctly on the map. Race ended with me and Lee running the road on tow the whole way home trying to make the cut-off. In the end we missed it by 6 seconds (easily the time lost of CP15).

After race social was killer with my favourrite dish being the lentil salad.

Thanks Angus and Happy Birthday.

Refs didn't show, so game was just pickup.

Easy cruise around the park.
